If nnap can see them from the Nagios machine then Nagios can see
it as well. You can also install the plugins on the actual
machines and use NRPE to get to them, so the only firewall port
open is NRPE from your monitoring machine.

Another option is to use NSCA to have the firewalled machines
periodically send a report in to Nagios.

Otherwise, I don't really understand why you would want Nagios
to display services that can't be checked.

I think check_http could be used or check_tcp using it's send
string / expect string syntax.

Check to see if any of these present any sort of banneri on
connect.  Check_tcp can be configured to expect some string
(such as timezone or other constant) to verify functionality. It
doesn't necessairily exercise it according to RFC but it should
work most of the time.

check_http can talk to https servers if openssl is present when
the plugin is compiled.
