Have a look on Nagios Exchange. There are a variety of lumps of code 
that read parts of Nagios config and status files, so one of these will 
give you a starting point. Natively, I don't believe there is a way to 
do what you're asking (although there are macros containing host values 
etc but I dont think these will give you what you want in your case).
