To be honest, I'm not even certain what is classified a "plug-in" by Casper

To handle what you are trying to do, I use Extension Attributes to grab the
version number of the plug-ins you mention. The script I use for Flash,
for example is below:
#!/bin/bash
# get the current version of the flash player plug in
flashVersion=`/bin/cat /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash
Player.plugin/Contents/Info.plist | grep -A 1 -m 1
CFBundleShortVersionString | grep string | sed 's/[/]//' | sed
's/<string>//g'`
echo "<result>$flashVersion</result>"
exit 0
However, Todd Ness pointed out that the same can be done with a lot less
code using the "defaults" command:
flashVersion=`defaults read /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash
Player.plugin/Contents/Info CFBundleShortVersionString`
You can use that same method for pulling most, if not any, application
version (Silverlight, Flip4Mac, Firefox, etc). So once you've created the
Extension Attributes, simply scope your Smart Group around each of these
EAs.
