I indeed did use the checkWordblock() function as well as some parts of
your akismet plugin, and implemented two additional small checks.

A first version which supports both sending and receiving as well as
displaying of both trackbacks and pingbacks can now be found at
http://wiki.foosel.net/snippets/dokuwiki/linkback

That thing needs some serious reallife-testing though. I tested it with
a test blog at wordpress.com and supersized.org. The latter refused to
receive any linkbacks from my wiki, but my own s9y-based blog had no
problems with that, so I guess that the problem there lies on
supersized.org's end. Pinging of interal links in the wiki works as
well, as long as it is configured this way in the configuration. Upon
receiving a linkback, the plugin also fetches the favicon of the linking
page and displays it if configured this way.

Hope that plugin can be of use to some of you :) If any bugs show their
evil face, a bugtracker is linked at the above wiki page, and I also
read my mail on a very regular basis ;)

Greetings,
  Gina
