I just installed ndoutils with mysql. There indeed was one pitfall: the database is growing quite large very quickly. Eventually, the DB got sluggish and couldn't keep up with the data Nagios threw at it (the DB server is quite underpowered). It got so bad that after a week or so, Nagios wouldn't even start up.
It turned out that it wasn't primarily the database itself, but binary logging. It is turned on by default (at least on CentOS) but you only need it for replication. If you are not using replication, simply turn off binary logging and you should be good to go. At least, I hope so; I only made that change yesterday, so I won't know for another week or so.
