Any feats that allow you to gain a skill as a class skill?

Take levels in Expert (pick 10 class skills).

What are you trying to accomplish via this?

Meet prerequisites for a Prestige Class quicker?

Get more bang for the buck on skills (i.e., get more ranks per level)?

Knowing what you are attempting to accomplish will help in figuring out how to better get there, IMO.

Able Learner does not make a skill a class skill.

It makes each skill only cost 1 sp. The rules on max ranks for cross class skills still appy.
yes, this is an important distinction.

For actual class-skill feats, you need something like Apprentice or Mentor from DMG 2. Or, um, there's some damn Dragon mag feat called Flexible Mind, but I never allow Dragon material IMG. Really, judging against the existing feats out there, the basic power level for a custom feat is to allow two skills to always be class skills.

Browse through the Crystal Keep feat list. You'll find lots there.
 

There's Martial Study from Tome of Battle, but you don't get to pick any skill, but instead get one based on the discipline you choose.

There's also a feat in Savage Tide Player's Guide (free to download from Paizo's site) that lets you pick three Int or Cha skills as class skills, because of your noble education.

I am trying to make buying ranks in certain skills cheaper (specifically Jump), and to be able to do so at a max skill ranks (lvl +3). I plan on taking classes that do not have certain skills on their list, so I want to be able to buy those skills w/o having to sink 2 skill points per rank.
 

Wasn't there a feat tucked away in UA that granted a skill (or two?) as a class skill? I seem to recall such, but I do not have my book near me to look through.

Able Learner would work if the skills are class skills for at least one of your classes. That way, maximum skill ranks are still capped at Character Level +3, but each rank only costs 1 skill point regardless of the class you are currently taking a level in. Otherwise, one good way to get Jump as a class skill is to take Martial Study for a Tiger Claw maneuver.
