As you've already been told, Nagios doesn't support this natively. I
needed the same functionality so I built a Perl wrapper to allow abitrary
metadata to be added to any config file definition like so:

define host{
    host_name router1a
#=  snmp_community public
    }

The whole config gets serialized into a Perl cache whenever Nagios is
reloaded and all of my scripts (notification/service checks) have access
to this additional data.

If you're comfortable with Perl and interested, I can send you the code.
