You would need to give the accounts full control
over the services of SQL so that they could stop
and start them to bring SQL up in single user mode.

You did not limit this to any specific aspects, so
in general this is, like it says, "Administration"
and will need Administrator access on the involved
machines

same as for running SQL in single user mode if by
the SQL Machine you mean SQL, else server operators
has ability to reboot a machine and there is a user right
governing this ability
> Install Service Packs/hot fix
This requires Adminstrators level access, but
you could leverage service delivery mechanisms
so that they do not need to initiate service application.
