It depends on what type of app your trying to make... If your not using any of the new features of the later sdk's then mostly you only have to worry about screen sizes. Android has built in support for working with different screen sizes. http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/compatibility.html

Here's the guide for developing for 3.0: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/optimizing-for-3.0.html

Also the android market now allows for multiple .apks to be uploaded for each app. So it is possible to write a whole new apk for each api level if you wanted to.
