A trivial, stupid implementation is perhaps not too difficult. The problem is getting the smarts right, i.e. an optimized version. You certainly don't want to be executing a query against a large table for every INSERT on another one, for example; it's better if if you can figure out when to skip it.
If you do it using the constraint trigger mechanism, it would work very similar to foreign keys, I'd imagine. Instead of running a query against the primary key table, you'd run the check constraint expression.
