There is this one: http://guilz1.free.fr/updrem/ IMHO, it does some things the wrong way, since it shouldn't need any configuration (should all be read from urpmi.cfg or via perl-URPM, or should complain that you have no update source). It could just diff the descriptions file from the system against the descriptions file on the mirrors, assuming the user did updates when they last updated their update medium lists. But, of course, issues relating to proxy servers etc need to be remembered ...
