Would be nice but not possible. This can easily be accomplished with a
short external script. Create a head file that contains options that are
different for each. Create a tail file with the authorization
information that you edit frequently. Concatenate them together when you
make a change. In pseudo-code - 

for each nagios instance
	cat /path/to/instance/etc/cgi.head
/path/to/common/etc/authorization.tail > /path/to/instance/etc/cgi.cfg
done
