A simple solution would be for there to ALWAYS be a patch release on the last day of support for a branch, that creates /etc/NOT-SUPPORTED or similar. Then it's just a matter of adding an /etc/cron.daily job to report on that, as long as you are following updates (and if you aren't you don't care about this issue).
I can't think of any other OS that does this, either - they generally just report that there are no available updates.
