No big secret really. As long as you're not trying to get fruit from 
them.  Start rooting a cutting now in sand or whatever and keep moist.
When winter starts in just keep them growing rather slow by holding 
back the water (reduces legginess). You might need to prune them some
to keep down the size as well. Give them good light. They should hold 
up till next year.

This is what I do to maintain my <Lycopersicon hirsutum> plants.
