Unless I'm misunderstanding your question: just use multiple PROC lines, one
for each process or pattern. For example, I have for one host:

  PROC cupsd 1 -1 yellow
  PROC dhcpd 1 -1 yellow
  PROC nmbd 2 -1 red

So, if there is not at least one each of cupsd and dhcpd the procs column is
yellow, and if there is not at least 2 of nmbd the procs column is red. Red
wins if there is a tie.

You can use patterns like

  PROC "%dsmc " 0 -1 yellow

which will turn yellow if there are any procs with any occurrence of
dsmc<space> in the proc name. The double quotes are there to include the
space after the string dsmc.
