I have been running a host monitoring solution (among other things) on an Xserve G5 for about a year now. It has been rock solid stable and has proven to be better than any other solutions I've looked at. It uses Nagios and sendPage, installed on OS X Server.
I've created a fairly detailed writeup covering exactly what I did, in case you'd like to set up the same on your server.
[robg adds: Typically I would ask the author's permission to mirror the actual writeup here. However, in this case, the provided solution is quite lengthy and detailed, and may not be of interest to a huge number of readers, so I think a link to the writeup will suffice.]
