You could write a script to parse the output from
http://aur.archlinux.org/rpc.php?type=search&arg=<pkg>

That includes whether <pkg> is outdated, the number of votes, version
number, etc. If you want comments then I think you need to scrape the
web page.

If you just want to know when a new version of an AUR package is out,
you could use paconky.
