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
