Mr 4 Beer is right. Google Webmaster Tools shows you which page has the highest page rank, now and historically; my highest PR page is about my 10th most visited this month.
Of course, PR can only affect traffic from search engines, and even then only from Google. A lot of my traffic comes from other sources: photography references, articles I've written for other sites, forums, social bookmark sites, and so on. This explains why lower PR pages get more visits, but if you stop and think about it, Google only sends x% of your traffic. You don't want to write off any optimization, but you also don't want to over do any one and ignore others.
The best thing I do is try to spread quality content around all of my site. This way instead of putting all of my attention into a small handful of pages that I hope will do extremely well, I have a number of photos, articles, and even some software, to appeal to more people, cast a wider net. A few sites link to most of my pages, less than if I concentrated all my links on two or three pages, but I come up under a lot more terms. Some of them I'm on page 40 in the results, while others are less competitive, but I would never have thought to optimize for them.
"Deep links" are coveted, and spreading good content around several pages will get them for you. Creating unique and interesting content is known as "link baiting" in SEO, and it's really the best technique around. Takes an investment of time right up front, but then lets you walk away when you're finished, and other people will do the linking for you.
But to answer the question, I haven't noticed a PR update. You can probably guess I don't pay much attention to it, though, so even if one is starting, I probably wouldn't notice. I watch my logs every day, but don't really check my PR. I don't even have the toolbar installed.

Still no changes here!
