Are you authorized to perform these scans? If so, have the host (interface) running nessus added to portsentry's ignore file so it will never be blocked - problem solved. Is portsentry running in stealth mode? If not, then you should be able to slip by as long as you're not running the TCP connect scanner. If so, I'm not sure if there's a way to sneak by -- perhaps Fyodor or someone else can provide some advice. Oh, don't forget... since the Nessus host has already been blocked, you'll probably need to speak with the sysadmin of the target machine to have it unblocked before you run another scan.
