I would think you could continue to use check_jmx4perl on the Tomcat
server and get it to send the results back to Nagios as a passive
check using send_nsca.

You can either use the send_nsca which is built in to NSClient++, or
there is a standalone binary send_nsca which is quite easy to use (
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Addons/Passive-Checks/NSCA-Win32-Client/details
).

You will of course need to configure the nsca daemon on your Nagios
server if you haven't done that already.
