You should read their documentation here

Nagios provides management of SNMP traps - including the ability to read, process, and generate alerts from SNMP traps it receives. Nagios can also send SNMP traps to other management hosts, which allows seamless integration with other Network Management Systems.

I've used SNMPtt with Nagios with great success. You can install it with Nagios using these instructions: http://www.snmptt.org/docs/snmptt.shtml#Nagios-Netsaint
