The ability to limit what services a user sees is included in a patch I 
wrote last year to give the Nagios web interface more granular 
permissions.  The patch is available at http://www.fragit.net/nagios.html

There is a limitation to the patch where a user can execute a command on 
the host that includes 'all services on this host' even if he/she can't 
see the other services.  I hope to fix this soon.
