No, there is no central overview for what patches replaces old ones.
Fortunately, in the later Security Bulletins for the security updates,
Microsoft lists what update(s) is/are superseded, look for "Security
Update Replacement" under the Summary part (at the top).
Here is an example for this:
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-025
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (867801)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS04-025.mspx
It states that MS04-004 is replaced by MS04-025. If you then open
the MS04-004 link there, it will then you that MS04-004 replaces
MS03-048, then opening the MS03-048, it will tell you that MS03-048
replaces MS03-040 (but then this supersede linking stops in the
security bulletins, see further up for a more complete IE patch
superseding list).
A quick way to find the Security Bulletin for a new update you are
to approve is to fill in the KB number for the update behind the
equal sign it this URL:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=
e.g. like this for KB867801:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=867801
