Take a look at Nagios Business Process Intelligence (BPI).  It might be what 
you need:

http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Addons/Components/Nagios-Business-Process-Intelligence-%28BPI%29/details

It lets you define a service that is an aggregate of any combination of hosts 
and services that you define.  All I think you would need to do then is define 
the appropriate contact for the aggregate services that you specify.
