I don't see any patch. I tried what you suggested with Nagios 3.0 and
all NRPE based services are now depending on all NRPE services on ALL
hosts. (ie. "Load" on host "hostA" would depends on "NRPE" on "hostA",
"hostB", "hostC", etc.)

You should try it and see the result on this page:
/nagios/cgi-bin/config.cgi?type=servicedependencies

I already tried all combination before asking the mailinglist and
writing the patch.

I also don't see the need to include a "host_name" or "hostgroup_name"
directive for this purpose. The host the service is running on is
already available in the service definition itself expanded from the
"dependent_servicegroup_name" directive.
