We do use WSUS to deploy Windows updates and WPKG for software too.

We just make sure to have the Windows updates finished before we start 
the WPKG software deployment.

You can still create a package for .NET with only a check defined, just 
to be able to define the dependency for the software.
This is possible and makes things really easy.
The software will not be installed until .NET is installed, so you don't 
have to wait for the Windows updates to be finished, but I would advice 
you to do so.
