Andrew Hall has released his version of the Sticky Post hack for WordPress. He has acheived this by using custom post fields. Here is a short description of the plugin:

This is an alpha release of a sticky post / select custom field plugin for WordPress 1.2. In advanced editing mode, you create a custom field KEY eg ’sticky’ and give it value 1. In whatever categories that post belongs to, it will behave as a sticky. When you want to unsticky it, delete the custom field for that post.

You can download the plugin here.
