That's perfectly ok, as long as you used the --with-htmurl and
--with-cgiurl switches of the configure script and pointed them
to starting in the serverroot aka
./configure --with-htmurl=/ --with-cgiurl=/cgi-bin

Well, do not expect CGIs to work if you do not give the directory
cgi-execution permissions ;) Then again, the omission of trailing
slashes can cause havoc on your installation too.

ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin /usr/local/nagios/sbin/
<Directory /usr/local/nagios/sbin/>
   Options ExecCGI
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.users
   AuthGroupFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.groups
   AuthName "Administrativer Nagios Zugang"
   require group nagios
   Satisfy Any
</Directory>

Alias /nagios /usr/local/nagios/share
<Directory /usr/local/nagios/share>
   Options None
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.users
   AuthGroupFile /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.groups
   AuthName "Administrativer Nagios Zugang"
   require group nagios
   Satisfy Any
</Directory>

Alias /nagios2help /usr/local/nagios/

Rework those to using ServerRoot instead and it should work.
Using Auth is mandatory too when dealing with the CGIs, I don't
know if you used that in your htaccess, but your config suggests
so.
