There is no native mechanism for WP to check for updates from non-official resources. Some plugins/theme have such functionality of their own for themselves.
If you want to implement such checks for arbitrary plugins/themes (coded without such in mind) it is not impossible, but will take loads of custom code and handling different possible sources and downloads.
