I'd start by using the SuSE rpms and installing them with YaST.  Then 
modify the
/etc/nagios/ files for your situation.

If you want to use nrpe to monitor the Nagios monitoring host, you will 
need to
edit /etc/services to change the port definiton for port 1248 from hermes to
nrpe, and then tweak the nrpe config file in xinet.d according to the nrpe
readme located in the /usr/share/doc/packages tree.  Make sure you install all
of the appropriate nagios packages in YaST!

We've done a bunch of Nagios installs on both SuSE Pro 9.1/9.2 as well 
as SLES9
(nagios 1.2 and 2.0bx).

SuSE does put things in different places than Red Hat, but not that different
(well, except probably the Gnome stuff, but that's another mailing list...)

Good luck!

Mark
