Thanks for all the feedback.
Our Citrix users are the primary affected users and we are debating whether
to make this change for the company or just for the Citrix users. I think
we may implement a script in the NFUSE logon page that will redirect the
user to the appropriate website to change their password. This way it will
change everything before the user is even allowed to login.

We had a similar issue in our environment.
We implemented a log off script that checked for password expiration.
If the users password is within 14 days of expiration the user is
notified and the password change page is launched.
This actually has two benefits. One, it solved the notification issue
and two it allowed plenty of time for the password to synchronize
because it occurs as the user is leaving for the day. We use some older
systems like OS/2 that do not have fast password replication so this
helped us.
The downside to this solution is that it's a bit inconvenient for the
user, but it's for their own good :)
Modifying msgina.dll will also work but requires more development.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Password Expiration Prompt
In our environment we use a product called Passport to synchronize
password changes across multiple accounts. Our users are aware of this
product and the procedures required for making a password change,
however, the Default Domain GPO specifies that the user will be notified
to change their password 5 days before expiration. When a user logs in
and sees this message they become confused and frustrated because they
think this change will apply to all accounts and passwords, which it
does not. Is there a script or setting I can change that will notify the
user it is time for a password change and take them directly to the
Passport website to change their password?
Thanks,
Chris
