Seems to me that the ON/Sanyo 2SK3557 is usable in place of the 2SK170. Not guaranteed to be a direct swap in a given design, but applicable in much the same way with appropriate biasing. Transconductance is slightly lower at the same current, but noise figure is very comparable and input cap is about 3x lower. gds looks comparable as well.
 
Just thought of another input device that's worth mentioning...

Analog Devices / Precision Monolithics MAT02 was replaced by the MAT12, which is also available in an 8-pin SOIC as the SSM2212; this is an ultra low noise, high beta, supermatched NPN pair. The MAT03, a PNP supermatched pair, hasn't gone anywhere; its SOIC counterpart is the SSM2220. Expect to pay on the order of $5 for the SOIC package or $25 (!!!) for the TO-78.

Kind of glad I've got a few MAT02s floating around in my parts box...
