The plugin should check the output of "emerge -upD --newuse world" for updates. It's been a while since I've used Gentoo on a daily basis so I'm not sure if the output of the above command shows any difference between critical and non-critical updates. I wrote a similar plugin for FreeBSD where I use portaudit to see if there are any critical packages on the system. This way I can divide between critical packages and normal updates and give the right state back to Nagios (1 = non-critical, yellow / 2 = critical, red).
