No. It would require a mechanism supported by each manufacturer,
and they tend not to even be consistent on their own websites.

Server manufacturers sometimes have mailing lists that you can
subscribe to for notifications. 

The best you can do otherwise is find the page for your
motherboard, figure out your current BIOS revision (dmidecode
will help), and then watch it periodically.

That said, once you have everything you care about working,
there's rarely a good reason to upgrade.
