My question is, why would you want to?  Itaniums are expensive boxes. 
Nagios performs fine for us on a pentium 3 monitoring about 300 hosts. 
If you actually need more hosts than a 32 bit system can handle, you
could easily buy multiple 32 bit systems, and then have the added
benefit of having one nagios host check up on the other, and vice
versa.  I saw a 32 bit system for $127.99 today.  I'd save the itanium
for compute-bound tasks, and even then, it might be better to go AMD.
