A pretty significant portion of the configurations are stored in the objects cache (/var/log/Nagios/objects.cache for me). This won't be as clean as your configs (and I'm not sure Nagios can use this file as a config directly), but you should be able to recover a pretty good amount of your running configs from there, and start reconstructing the config files.
May I be the first to suggest placing your configuration in revision control, which will help mitigate this problem in the future. I would suggest Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/) or git (http://git-scm.com/).
