So nessus is not in the repos, but I installed the Debian 6 package from Tenable. It installed and works fine from my testing.

Yep. You even get the HTML5 version, which is very nice and works well.

How to install Debian 6 package from Tenable ?
Here's how I did it.
Download the Debian 6 Package to /tmp on Kali for your specific architecture either i386 (32-bit) or amd64 (64-bit)
http://www.tenable.com/products/nessus/select-your-operating-system
Debian 6.0 (32 bits):
Nessus-5.0.3-debian6_i386.deb
Debian 6.0 (64 bits):
Nessus-5.0.3-debian6_amd64.deb
Unpack the debian package
In terminal type:
cd /tmp/
ar vx Nessus-5.0.3-debian6*
tar -xzvf data.tar.gz
tar -xzvf control.tar.gz
There will now be an "etc" directory and a "opt" directory.
Copy the nessus directory in /tmp/opt/ to the /opt directory, make the /opt directory if it doesn't exist.
In Terminal type
mkdir /opt
cp -Rf /tmp/opt/nessus /opt
cp -Rf /tmp/etc/init.d/nessus* /etc/init.d
You can now delete the contents of the nessus download in the /tmp directory if you choose.
To Run Nessus, from a terminal type:
/etc/init.d/nessusd start # this starts the nessus server
Open a browser and navigate to: https://127.0.0.1:8834
Follow the remaining instructions. You WILL NEED to obtain a key/license from www.tenable.com even if only for the "free" version.

Kali, like Backtrack is meant to be run as root, and NOT really meant to be a primary operating system. By default, apache and mysql services require root privileges to start/stop/restart. You CAN alter this, however, this is not recommended.
You can download directly match your terminal architecture nessus deb package, and then install them manually.I downloaded the latest version 5.03, the installation was successful.

I don't have to much to input other than I have been able to get Nessus successfully working with Kali. Good luck!
