I am not aware that there is a Leap version for the Raspberry Pi. Not even considered.
Is there any Leap support planned for the ARMs?
I hope there will be, once it is released and the whole process is going.
According to Dirk, there are indeed no plans for armv7l or armv6l. Apart from no one volunteering to bootstrap the build, e.g. using 13.2, we are currently very limited on armv7l build power (our Arndale boards broke, need to find time to debug) and the time before the Leap repository gets frozen for release seems insufficient to get a full build done under the circumstances. armv6l building under linux-user emulation would be even slower (déjà-vu: 13.2) and is getting only little love in Tumbleweed already.
Tumbleweed is ok if you want to have latest and greatest, but when an update stops the ARM board working (so seen with kernel 4.2 update) it would be better to have something more stable for "productive" environments.
+1
A +1 does not get a stable distro release done... ;-) You are of course free to try rebuilding Leap in a private OBS installation and report whether everything builds and works. If you know companies that would sponsor more virtualization-capable ARMv7-A hardware (Cortex-A7/-A15/-A17) or AArch32-capable ARMv8-A hardware, ideally supported in the mainline kernel and with sufficient RAM, feel free to reach out to them.
