Not that I know of (but I haven't gone digging to check).  However, if you
are willing to put up with and ugly hack like that... 

How about making the monitoring machine a primary nameserver for the
machines you want to monitor.  Not really the primary nameserver as far as
the outside world is concerned, purely for Nagios purposes.  A primary
nameserver rather than a seconday so that it does not get updates from
the real primary.  Then you can have a cron job that rewrites the zone
file and restarts named. 

I did say it was ugly...
