ARM is mutating faster than a virus and what is current now will be dead in only a year or two.
Eh? The ARM ISA is very stable, it's certainly not evolving any faster than x86 or PowerPC, probably slower in fact.

Also there's a great deal f variation in platforms. What do you support?
In the embedded space this isn't much of a problem however as ARM moves
back into desktops it becomes a major problem. However this is a recognised problem so you can be sure they are thinking about solutions.

Once the move is made to another ISA, will the target system(s) have similar longevity?
If you're talking about ARM, then by the time a port is done then I would imagine, yes.
