I don't mind if it takes some computational effort?I'm not using the condition number during my real solves, but studying the effect of various parameters (e.g. choice of basis functions) on conditioning.

You might also want to look at Belos' LSQR implementation.  It computes a monotonically nondecreasing lower bound on the condition number.  David Day has more details on this use case --
