Rather than guessing, you might want to take a look at what Apache
thinks is wrong:
Access the page and then:
sudo tail /var/log/httpd-error.log
It should pretty much tell you what is wrong.
Is lynx asking you for a username and password?
Is there some reason you didn't follow exactly the instructions
suggested by the pkg-message for the nagios port with regard to the
Apache configuration? I don't see anything particularly wrong with your
config, but it may be needlessly over complex.
I believe in getting things working according how the port maintainer
suggests. The port maintainers tend to do a good job of handing you a
good basic configuration which works.
Once that works, I make the changes needed for my site one step at a
time, testing each change individually.
