finally managed to compile the nagios plugin that comes with the svn 
checkout, may be this helps someone else. apparently, the debian 
packages I created and installed before using the debian/ directory 
that comes with the checkout does not install the pkg-config file, and 
is missing a link.
 
apt-get install pkg-config
cd /root/varnish-svn-trunk/varnish-tools/nagios/
 
cp /root/varnish-svn-trunk/varnish-cache/varnishapi.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/
cd /usr/lib/ 
ln -s libvarnishapi.so.0 libvarnishapi.so
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install

this will create the plugin as
 
/usr/local/libexec/check_varnish


Cheers,

Sascha
