Not to my knowledge, no - the standard Nagios plugins don't know about rate of change, and I haven't run across many (any?) third- party plugins that do. The difficult part is retaining state - yes, it's simple to use a statefile, but if you have a lot of services you could end up with thousands of state files. It can become pretty ugly to deal with them.
