Sorry, I don' t know.  I always use the port, and let it do what it 
does.  :(  By using the port, it trivializes upgrades and removals,  
and makes security notices easier (e.g. security/portaudit).

cd /usr/port/net-mgtm/nagios
make install

pretty easy... and if you need/want special config items, you can 
still do them, plus you get the benefits of packaging.

My recommendation: remove what you installed, and use the port.
