Maintaining it would not be an issue. The changes would be tracked in a
VCS and upgrades are unlikely, but an alternative (cleaner) approach
would be interesting.
I am brand new to C but have experience with several other languages,
and have never heard of nagios before yesterday. Could you give me a
more newb friendly suggestion to your approach?
I really appreciate the suggestions so far,

I have only found one instance of cnf_dir in the source and that is here:
else if(strstr(input,"cfg_file=")==input || strstr(input,"cfg_dir=")==input)
continue;

Unless you want to maintain it yourself indefinitely, you don't. You could write
an eventbroker module that loads the configuration by creating all the hosts
and services you need though. You'll want the NEBCALLBACK_PROGRAM_STATUS events,
and the NEBTYPE_PROCESS_START type.
