The nessus (-devel) lists are searchable at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/
(more specifically http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=nessus-devel&r=1&w=2) you
might find it useful to go through the database integration development that is
being implemented for nessus (in the USE_SQL CVS branch).
It currently is possible to take the nessus reports and dump them to a database.
See more on this below.

Since ISS's tool uses an SQL database (MSDE IIRC) to store the results you can
dump the Nessus results into this same database (using the tools below) and work
from there. Notice that since both Nessus and Internet Scanner do use a common
vulnerability representation (i.e. CVE, cve.mitre.org) it is possible to
generate reports with the information on vulnerabilities found by both scanners
rather easily.
You just need to understand both Nessus E/R schema (see below) and Internet
Scanner's (read the documentation) to work useful SQL queries to correlate both
information.
Of course you can use third party products to correlate this information. But
Nessus support might be lacking in those.

On the Nessus side:
- For the database information:
http://cvs.nessus.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/nessus-core/doc/database/?hideattic=0&only_with_tag=NESSUS_SQL#dirlist
- For the tool to extract the information:
http://cvs.nessus.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/nessus-tools/nessus-extract/?hideattic=0&only_with_tag=NESSUS_SQL
Oh! And if you manage to do something please contribute it to the list :-)
