We used cfengine (http://www.cfengine.org/) to distribute our nrpe and 
other config files.  We had a script which ran over the config file and 
enabled or disabled the services we wanted on each machine.  This also 
meant you could change the services being montitored by running the 
script.  Was just a very simple Bash script that used sed.  I am sure 
you could do something much more impressive with Perl.
