Yes. The reason for putting them in different packages is that some 
require packages to be installed that aren't on all systems. check_snmp 
requires net-snmp (or at least snmpget) to be present, so it's not 
included with the 'standard' plugins. This all gets sorted by the 
./configure script though, so when building from source it's not a 
problem. When installing from rpm, the Requires: list would get loooong.

There is none. See above.

net-snmp 5.x, qstat (if you mean to monitor gameservers running quake3 
engines), fping (for check_fping, although I submitted a new program for 
that just a couple of minutes ago)

Good reading for you;
REQUIREMENTS (in the nagiosplugins-1.3.0 directory)
http://www.rpm.org/RPM-HOWTO (in your favorite browser)a

These plugins aren't being built because you don't have the development 
libraries and headers for postgresql and mysql, the net-snmp package and 
the fping binary installed.
