can't vouch for it, but this looks pretty promising:

skype might come in handy too, I think you can send an sms to a skype phone number and skype, i believe, is applescript capable

if you send from your phone to an email address, you can use Preferences->Rules to lanch applescripts in Mail.app

I haven't done any of this, your question just sparked some curiosity...:)

forgot to mention, i'm on a PC. so the solutions posted so far won't work for me yet (saving up for a Mac...). will look into the bluetooth/serial solution, however.

it's not easy - sms messages are encoded in all sorts of ways.

my best guess is that someone would have to write a max external to 

handle/decode sms msgs. Otherwise, i wouldn't even attempt it. 

FWIW, cell phones (not all, but many) can be communicated with over 

the serial port when plugged into the USB of a computer. i used sony 

ericsson handsets for a few experiments, and found that the command 

sets they support vary widely. i liked the kXXXi models the best, 

they support usb serial connections the best. bluetooth is also a 

probably even better is to use some sort of server program that talks 

to max via network functions, like OSC or mxj.net.receive or 

something similar. with kannel (FLOSS SMS server) you can set up 

triggers for incoming sms's that run scripts, which could talk to max.

you set an sms reminder via the settings and set yourself meetings for the
next minute or so.
