Here is a working example

/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg:
define hostextinfo{
        host_name       freebsd.somewhere.com
        notes           frizzee bizzee
        icon_image      freebsd40.png
        icon_image_alt  FreeBSD 5.4
        vrml_image      freebsd40.png
        statusmap_image freebsd40.gd2
        2d_coords       1000,2500
        3d_coords       100.0,50.0,75.0
        }

The logo icon pack is installed in  /usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos

rmoss at freebsd [/usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos]$ ls -la *freebsd*
-rw-r--r--  1 500  500  1455 Sep 23  2001 freebsd40.gd2
-rw-r--r--  1 500  500  1491 Sep 23  2001 freebsd40.gif
-rw-r--r--  1 500  500  1697 Sep 23  2001 freebsd40.jpg
-rw-r--r--  1 500  500  1627 Sep 23  2001 freebsd40.png
