looking at their docs, it's pretty clear: 
https://trac.assembla.com/npc/wiki/QuickStartGuide

- have icinga core and idoutils writing to a mysql database
- set the "nagios url" to the icinga classic ui location (as far as i 
understand, they do parse the html output for maps and reporting)
- set the external command pipe path to the icinga core one

but tbh i've never tried that. some years ago, i've modified a patch for 
the cacti threshold plugin in order to trigger alerts and send them as 
passive check result to icinga, but that didn't work out that well.

it also seems that the cacti ecosystem is unwilling create a bridge to 
the nagios/icinga ecosystem, so everyone builds their own hacks and 
solutions between those too.

depends what you mean with the term "able to graph external rrds". if 
it's just for the presentation layer on the webinterface - it may read 
any rrd file, but you'll of course need to apply the data sources into 
your current graph views and templates. for details, head to the cacti 
docs or their mailinglists.
