Yes you could do:
check_http -s "STATUS FOR foo IS OK" -H www.mydomain.com -u /status.php
check_http -s "STATUS FOR bar IS OK" -H www.mydomain.com -u /status.php
etc

Using regular expressions might be slightly better. Having the page 
return a data structure (YAML / JSON / etc) that a plugin parses would 
be a bit better. Using Nagios / NPRE to solve the whole thing is 
probably better still.
