I'm pretty sure the only way to achieve such a thing is a union  
mount: Put one of the folders into a disk image, then union mount  
that onto the other one. Doing so means there's no way to write to  
the original folder, though. You'd have to undo the union mount each  
time you run the updater.

Another useful thing in such a situation might be a smart folder, in  
the Finder level. I didn't test that though.
