Flymake can do that, although that's not muli-file-document aware and
will run texify instead of latexmk.  But by overriding its tex hook with
this function

  (defun flymake-get-tex-args (file-name)
    (list "latexmk" (list (TeX-master-file file-name))))

it'll probably work ok, e.g., recompile your document once you've saved
any of its files.
