I just made a plugin to do EXACTLY what you're asking for. It's not formally released yet so there's no documentation. If you want, you can use it.
http://test.flesler.com/jquery.broadcast/ Note that it requires jQuery 1.3. That means you need to use the version on trunk or any of the recently released betas.
