Jeff,

You can do this, although you will need to write a script to output the
data you require to either nsca or nrpe (which one you use will depend
on whether you want the check to be active or passive - nsca requires a
daemon on the Nagios monitoring machine, nrpe requires a daemon on the
remote machine). Both packages are available from 
http://www.nagios.org/download/

I use nrpe (active checks) to monitor certain processes on a remote SCO
machine - works very well for me.
