There's already a VS.NET plugin on SourceForge :
http://nantrunner.sourceforge.net/
features :
* adds a build tree node for each .nant or .build file found in your
open solution
* reads NAnt file imports adding all reachable targets to a tree
* puts targets with no description in the private sub-tree
* allows you to run targets with a single click
* redirects build output to the VS.Net build output window
* allows you add target specific properties
* allows you to filter targets with a simple show/hide methaphor
* allows you to kill a running build process
