The only mission I've heard about so far that seems to possess the ability to image the Apollo hardware is NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, for which I started a new thread.

ESA's SMART-1 is in orbit around the Moon now but it has only a 27-meter per pixel resolution. Another mission that is sometimes mentioned is Japan's SELENE, which is due to launch this year, but its resolution is just 10-meters per pixel. This is still not good enough to image the Apollo hardware itself.
