"hung state" is somewhat a vague term. Nagios can monitor if a service is running or not, but "hung" is subjective and means different thing to different people.
If is is something definitive that can be determined by executing a command on the system, then Nagios can usually monitor it.

I understand what you are saying, but Nagios can only monitor thing it can detect by running commands from the command line or poll on the system.
You would need to create a plugin to perform these items, and output the results. Then Nagios can run that plugin and use the results to determine the state of the "hung" service.
I would suggest a pre-written plugin, but I don't think anyone has been able to decipher this scenario and shared a plugin yet.
