It is possible to replace the compiled binaries with scripts - I have a bunch of client systems doing exactly that. Some functionality is lost, but so far that hasn't been a problem for me. On the other hand, I've gained the ability to deliver reports via secure https connection.
All you'll need is bash, cron & curl. I know I've posted about this before, but I'm not sure how much detail I gave. I won't be able to get a copy of the scripts cleaned up for distribution until sometime later today.

Is it possible to send data directly to the xymon server from another server without having a xymon client sending it? We have some production servers where I am not comfortable installing the client because it wants packages that are not already installed on those servers. Can I have my own scripts send data directly?****
One pre-packaged script available is xymon-rclient.sh, at http://tools.rebel-it.com.au/xymon-rclient/
