We don't use NX exclusively, so it has not caused us a problem yet!
In KDE I would be tempted to write a simple bash or perl script that
interrogates the password status ("passwd -S"), then uses kdialog to warn the
user that their password will expire in X days, "change password now? [Yes]
[No]". If the user pressed Yes it would run:
kcmshell kcm_useraccount
