Can't help you with something orgmode specific but Emacs does indeed
have something that will do this for you.  Have a look at
"time-stamp".  You can have file specific settings for time-stamp.

For my org files, I have

#+DATE:      2008.12.05 18:43:01

as one of the first lines in the file and then have the following at the end:

---------------------------------------- cut here
* COMMENT Local file settings for Emacs

# Local Variables:
# time-stamp-line-limit: 1000
# time-stamp-format: "%04y.%02m.%02d %02H:%02M:%02S"
# time-stamp-active: t
# time-stamp-start: "#\\+DATE:[ \t]*"
# time-stamp-end: "$"
# End:
---------------------------------------- cut here

Hope this helps.
