Grab the appropriate Service Packs for the OSes you're supporting from http://search.microsoft.com/en-us/DownloadResults.aspx?q=service+pack , and Bundle them into an installer with burn?
Sound like it could end up a pretty massive installer though, so you might want to look into the WiX elements that allow the installer to download the service packs on demand (assuming the target machines have internet access when installing), rather than packaging them into the installer itself. I haven't done the downloading thing (although I probably should be), so I unfortunately can't advise on that, but I don't think it's overly complicated.

If so, where should I start looking to do this? (We have machines which are too intermittent to be domainified and hence use our Active Directory / SCCM solution. Right now we just throw them an archived directory and a VBS or something; but this requires administrator. If we use an MSI we can use a previously developed mechanism - used for userland applications etc. - to run the package elevated which I doubt I need explain.)
