I haven't used an ohai plugin myself but I think the nginx cookbook does it 
by simply including the ohai receipe 
(https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/nginx/blob/master/recipes/ohai_plugin.rb
 ) which in turn delegates to

https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/ohai/blob/master/recipes/default.rb

However I suspect this won't work correctly if this happens more than once 
during a run - you might be able to get around it via a ruby block resource
