I think MRTG can get you where you want to go and supplant perfmon if
you're willing to open SNMP on the target host.  You can query those
performance monitors from an SNMP MIB I believe.   Perhaps there's a
non-snmp method available--I'm not sure. 

Whats Up Gold  can do similar things leveraging the same mechanism, I
believe.
