Well easiest way will be create a unique field in account and copy hte account num to that field along with the original Account Num field(This can be done using a workflow)

So whenever you will try to insert a duplicate record you will get an error!

Have a look at this post this will give you and Idea about how to use workflow to implement this http://boards.developerforce.com/t5/General-Development/How-can-i-Avoid-duplicate-names-using-workflows/td-p/639365
