Listers often times I find myself needing to append text to the
clipboard and would really benefit from this feature. Does anyone
know of a way to do it on the Mac or do you know of a third party
who has developed such application?
QuickSilver, the application that Yvonne described in her blog at:
http://yvonnezed.posterous.com/
supports this capability, but as I believe she mentioned in her posts,
you may not be able to get all of this working in Snow Leopard. What
I've been using instead of the clipboard with some of the same
functionality that you want is a free software application called
JustNotes (in its beta release) that synchronizes notes with an iPhone/
iPod Touch app called Simplenote ($1.99). This also automatically
puts the notes up on my iPod Touch within the Simplenote app, and lets
me access current, updated versions of the notes through the free
Simplenote secure web interface. This is also a great way of getting
content up to my iPod Touch (if I want to cut and paste in any of the
text I loaded up as notes). (As an aside, the Simplenote app also lets
me use another iPhone app called TextExpander (normally $4.99, but
currently $1.99). This app lets me customize "snippets" that minimize
my typing, and that can automatically expand to the currently
formatted date, etc.).
You can read more about Simplenote and JustNotes in this TUAW article
about Simplenote that gives links to these and other apps:

("Elegant simplicity: the power of SimpleNote for iPhone" by Steven
Sande, Dec 21st 2009)
Note: I installed JustNotes because I already had Simplenote. If you
install JustNotes first and later decide to get Simplenote I'm not
sure whether the automatic synchronization will work correctly without
some fiddling. Simplenote gives you free access to a Simplenote secure
web account that lets you sync notes in the web account immediately
with your notes on the iPhone/iPod Touch. JustNotes has you enter
this when your set it up, since the application for the Mac desktop
was inspired by the way that Simplenote works with the web account.
The small, floating JustNotes window currently shows up in the window
chooser menu for Finder (VO-F2 twice) as "untitled". If you're using
DropBox, this means that you might see two windows labelled "untitled".
