Bob Hartwig has mostly been in charge of this.  See his website about the Squeak Refactoring Browser port at http://www.bobjectsinc.com/squeakrbalpha/ .

The site is actually getting a little out of date now... there was some additional work done around the time of OOPSLA 2000 which is not mentioned on the site.  There were some UI hooks added to do refactorings from a regular system browser, but there wasn't any SmallLint UI yet, for example.

You may want to email Bob directly to find out if there's any new news.

(And yes, I still have plans to eventually add support for RB refactorings to my Whisker browser...)
