A question mark would be quite squashed, especially in miniature
checkboxes used for palettes etc. And the Windows-style stippling Calum
mentioned tends to make a checkbox look disabled when it's not, as well
as not really working when you want to use the same style for boolean
menu items.

How about this:

                  ,-----.     ,-----,     ,-----.
                  |     J     |   / J     | ___ J
                  |     J     |`./  J     |     J
                  `"""""'     `"""""'     `"""""'
                 unchecked    checked  indeterminate
