I gave up and stopped trying to obfuscate the nagios configuration in puppet. I simply have puppet pushing out anything I drop into /etc/nagios/conf.d, and then doing a nagios restart. This makes it very easy to add hosts and services because a script can read the node manifest and drop the necessary files into modules/nagios/etc/nagios/conf.d.
