./configure --help
It got me all I needed to know.
For nagios;
zlib
png
jpeg
freetype2
gd2
All of them with header-files if you want Nagios to be able to use them.
I've never bothered with the 3D statusmap, so I don't know what extras 
are required for that.

For the plugins the dependancies vary, but most will still build even 
though a bunch of them have failed dependancies.

You can download and compile it from source if you like. That gets you 
the devel environment as well.
gd is at www.boutell.com
You'll have to Google for the rest. sourceforge and freshmeat are not 
uncommon, however.

And none of them seemed capable of using any online search engines. 
Seriously... did you try that first?
