It all depends on the network you use. Strictly going by nick alone is always a bad thing to do.

efnet: has nothing of the kind whatsoever
undernet: uses X. the nick is restricted to network services, so a nick-only script is no problem on this network
dalnet: has several *Serv nicks, but all use the hostmask @services.dal.net (nickserv/chanserv/memoserv are the ones you can use).

Goto the channel #help or your network and ask how to positively identify network services there.

On the network I hang on, for example, they're "*Serv!services@brasnet.org". So, if I wanted to check whether $nick is the nickname service bot or not, I'd go with "if ($fulladdress === NickServ!services@brasnet.org) { }" ('===' to be case-sensitive).
