I do agree a donation support system would probably be the best way to implement it. If they take a small cut (say 10%, 15% at most) then they can cover their server resources and the developers get an incentive.
Will never work. 99% of people will over charge their mods and so instead of them being highly popular and being able to earn a bit through donating, only 1 rich person will buy it and the mod will be never used. Also If you write a good mod you can immediately expect 90 other people to claim your mod as their own and give it away almost for free, sure you might win in the end but you will still lose out in that you would not get the money you actually should have.
I for one person would not spend anything on any custom map I have seen in StarCraft II to this date. None of them are worth anything due to bugs, lack of support or just plain old inexperienced/not caring map makers..
