Unfortunately the hosts I am dealing with are HPUX or Solaris
and don't have xinetd installed.

In some corporate settings <ahem, mine> I only own from NRPE
through the plugins. Inetd may be used by other groups and I
can't ask the owner of the machine to make a global change.  In
my environment (and other large corporate settings) locallizing
the functionality to just Nagios's slice of the machine would be
preferable.

Another option that occurs to me is to write a wrapper-plugin
that installs the ulimit's then calls the 'real' plugin. That
would probably be an easier route.
