Sounds like you have all the functionality you need from Munki: it makes 
packages appear in Apple's Software Update? In that case, all the subpackages 
should also get checked by SU once they're installed--be it from the mpkg or 
individually.

If not, this is how I'd manually do what you're after:
 * make and update a pkg for each package
 * make an mpkg and keep it updated (for new machines, replacements, full 
reinstalls)
 * make an XML or CSV or some simple list to check installed versus available 
versions
 * write a daemon to pull down and install whatever packages are needed when it 
checks
