When a bot crawls a site, it follows all links (as long as they're not "nofollowed") and then the bot is able to attribute PR to the linked site. The crucial part is that the text or "SITE.com" needs to be hyperlinked. I don't believe even "www.SITE.com" will do anything for your PR unless you can actually click it and be taken to the site. If your site that you're mentioning is actually relevant and helpful to the reader, you can probably get away with posting the actual link. I hope that helps.

Say, somebody mentions my page like "SITE.com" in a news article, and there is no actual HREF= behind it, only the plain text "SITE.com". Will google count that as positive reference that eventualy can increase my pagerank? The reason for this question is that I dont want to promete my site with the prefix "www." and I am afraid of doing something that will decrease my pagerank.
