Hi Luca. I don't know about "smart," but I wrote a script to accomplish
exactly this issue. It's kinda' kludgy in some ways, but it *does* work.
A bit from the README file:

------------------------------------------------------------
This script will connect to a nessusd server and dump its plugin list. It
will then enable/disable groups of plugins based on their family and write
an up-to-date .nessusrc file based on the plugins currently available on
the nessusd server.
------------------------------------------------------------

You can find it at:
