Well, if you stop polling when going into suspend, and you have a  
smart polling daemon that accumulates presences between polls, then  
you have the suspend/resume presence, don't you?

You can achieve this with privacy lists as well. The only thing is  
that you will still get your complete roster on your mobile client,  
just not the presence sending/receiving. If you don't have your  
complete roster, there will be conflicts eventually.
