Hmmm...sorry -- the only thing I can suggest is maybe striking some sort of deal that you change when it gets however many months out of date: if you look here (http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/MASS/), you can see the last time each version of MASS was updated and by seeing what you have, you can see about how out of date you are. In the context of MASS, I wouldn't worry so much: it's tied to a book, not active research, so I don't think it gets updated too often in big ways.
The other thing is to actually compare differences in the source code, though that might be more trouble than it's worth.
