I thing you are going to have to configure them twice. the npc plugin only populates its database tables from the nagios output so you can't configure nagios from cacti. As for configuring cacti from nagios, you should be able to create a device template and then apply it to bulk hosts but that will have to be through the sql back end.
The entire cacti config is in the cacti database and the actual data is RRD files located usually in the $cacti_install/rra folder. there aren't any "config files" in cacti like there are in nagios.
