I am in the process of trying to design a new server rack with 4-5 Xserves...however, I am unclear on the best path to take in terms of a battery backup scheme. I can't seem to find anything on the APC site, granted they have always been slow to support Apple.

Are there any good rack-mountable power/battery management systems out there?

Thanks,

It is probably much too small and certainly not very rack friendly but they do have a client for their 350 and 500VA USB units for OS X.
Check the readme at: APC MacOS X 1.2 client readme.rtf

In the future I expect to see support from Powerware though they have not announced this support yet.
