You depending on the nagios package for both the client and server. Only server needs nagios itself installed.
Only nsca (the daemon) Requires: nagios. nsca-client doesn't.
What about the nagios user? Since your compiling NSCA requiring the nagios using being present you'll need the user. This package should attempt to create the user and otherwise silently ignore if it exists already.
The nagios user is not required at compile time, the --with-nsca-user and --with-nsca-grp option are only used to generate the default config. The nagios user will only be needed at run time and then nsca Requires: nagios so it will be already there.
