Hi, Nagios 3.0 (stable) has been just released out on 03/13/2008, can you please include ebuild for it?
*sigh* ... yeah, i'm aware of nagios-3 being "just" released ... you can find ebuilds in my dev-overlay ... just 'layman -a dertobi123' and emerge it.
3.0.1 is out ;) 3.0 and latest nrpe and plugins -r101 from dertobi123's overlay working fine for me so far...
As the jump from 2.x to 3.x will bring some bigger changes (for example the plugin path changing from /usr/nagios/libexec to /usr/lib/nagios/plugins), a user upgrading from 2.x (has_version ...) should be informed that he needs to take care of these changes in order to make his setup actually work after the upgrade. The mail-mta/postfix ebuild does this in an easy but sufficient way, I believe -- see pkg_setup() of any recent postfix ebuild.
I just installed it from the overlay on a fresh system. I noticed one problem right off the bat: /var/nagios is owned by root:root and has 755 permissions. This prevents the nagios daemon from creating the /var/nagios/objects.cache file.

The "unpack" stage fails with the following error message: configure.in:44: error: AC_REQUIRE: circular dependency of AC_GNU_SOURCE gl/m4/extensions.m4:19: AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS is expanded from... ../../lib/autoconf/specific.m4:331: AC_GNU_SOURCE is expanded from... gl/m4/gnulib-comp.m4:21: gl_EARLY is expanded from... configure.in:44: the top level autom4te-2.62: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal-1.9: autom4te failed with exit status: 1 Mark

The "unpack" > stage fails with the following error message: That's related to autoconf-2.62 and also affects the stable 1.4.11 ebuild in our main tree. That's fixed in both 1.4.11-r1 and 1.4.11-r102 in my overlay.
This is fixed in CVS now. Note that nagios-3 ebuilds are still p.masked.
Is this going to be changed to ~arch any time soon?
