Can't speak anything to integration with Cacti, but have you looked at 
APAN? It will let you take the data that Nagios gathers and graph it in 
RRDTool. In short, your nagios information becomes the data source for 
your RRAs. The nice thing is that you have full integration from the 
Nagios interface, so no two places to go for your info.
