arpwatch does something like that, keeps an eye on what mac addresses are active using what IP on the local subnet, sends an alert when a new mac address appearrs or some change occurs in the pairs of active MAC/IP pairs.
Currently there is no integration between arpwatch and nagios. arpwatch sends email alerts, maybe outputs to the log or console? I don't think it is a good fit, since nagios assumes that all the hosts it cares about are pre-defined in its config file. There might be a web front end available for arpwatch I am unfamiliar with, if so that sounds more like what you want.
