Well ... sort of, only for MWI right now, right?  On that note, how's the SIP device state outbound subscriptions project going these days?  Is there any hope of that making it in for Asterisk 1.10?

I think this would be a good feature to have.  It could be something like chan_sip registering new device state providers for other sorts of states.  I think it would be best to try to not introduce logic that tries to mesh this in with normal device states.  Having it as its own state type would be neat, though.

exten => foo,hint,SIP-dnd:mypeer

Call forward state is a bit more complicated, since there is custom meta data associated with a call forward.  It's not just a state.

If anyone wanted to work on this, let's be sure to review the design on this list before you go off and code it to make sure we've got good agreement on the approach.
