Yes.

There are a number of ways of doing so including

1 by ssh (you provide a shell for the Netsaint/Nagios user on the remote
system, equip it with the public key of the Nag/Netsaint user and have
that user run the standard plugin check_disk)

2 use netsaint_statd or nagios_statd

3 have the remote machine submit the result of the service check (using
check_disk for example) to the monitor machine with ncsa_send and ncsa

4 Remote Execution Layer

It's possible for the remote host to submit the results with ncsa over a
secure tcp connection to the monitor machine.

Have a look at the addons section of the project web pages
(www.NetSaint.ORG or www.Nagios.ORG).

They are very clearly documented like every aspect of Nagios.

There are probably other ways.

Yours sincerely.
