portaudit for arch

I run FreeBSD on my server and really love the portaudit (http://www.freshports.org/security/portaudit/) application. Has anyone concidered doing a version for Arch?

For people who don't know and can't be bothered following the link, portaudit checks the database of installed packages and compares them to a list of known vulnerabilities, it then reports on any vulnerable packages installed on the machine. It also checks when you are installing new packages to prevent you from installing something which has a known vulnerability.
