See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SWMT which stands for "Small Wiki Monitoring Team". It hasn't been very active yet, but I believe there are a number of users who do monitor at least some of the small wikis even though they're not signed up on that page.
It's fairly easy via bloglines (http://www.bloglines.com/public/inactivewikipedias) to watch a number of wikis at once.
Well, it's not what I call comfortable, but the aggregated RSS-feeds could be used for further analysis and visualization. You could also browse through Erik's Wikistat pages for each small Wiki.
