In order to prevent pingback spam before it hits my moderation queue, it would be really great to have a validation hook. I think hook_comment() with $op = 'validate' would be appropiate for this case. This would allow standard comment validations and special pingback validations (checking the comment title).

I couldn´t test the attached patch, but it should do the magic.
