Nacin, I think does the trick but would need to be cleaned up before it was released live. I run it on my own sites to check for updates every 12 hours and email me once a week if there is an update pending.

function thisismyurl_check_update() {
	if (!get_transient('_site_transient_update_core_timer')) {
		wp_version_check();
		set_transient( '_site_transient_update_core_timer', true, (60*60*12));
		$update_core = get_option('_site_transient_update_core'); 
		if ($update_core) {
			if($update_core->updates[0]->response == 'upgrade' && !get_transient('_site_transient_update_core_message'))  {
				wp_mail( get_bloginfo('admin_email'), get_bloginfo('name').__(' core upgrade available.'), __('There is a core upgrade availale for ').get_bloginfo('name').__(' at ').get_bloginfo('url').'/wp-admin/update-core.php').'.';
				set_transient( '_site_transient_update_core_message', true, (60*60*24*7));
			}
		}
	}
}
add_action('wp_head','thisismyurl_check_update');
