Looks like SMSLoc can remote query the location of a friend, using SMS as a transport.

I have not tried this one.

It appears you can whitelist certain phone numbers to query your location.

Yes, not encrypted, straight cleartext SMS.

You could possible hack the code to add a strong crypto wrapper to the data stream.
