Many of us use vacuum gauges to monitor the condition of the primary fuel
filter. Does any on know of a system to monitor the condition of the secondary,
fine filter on the engine? Maybe by measuring pressure at the inlet or the
pressure drop across the filter?

You can use a differential pressure guage from FW Murphy:
