You can acknowledge an alert using commands submitted to the external
command file:

http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandlist.php

How you interface this with devices like cell phones is up to you. You could
use an SMS provider to allow you to send an SMS back to the Nagios server
and acknowledge a notification without even having to log in, potentially.
