I don't think you'll need any rewrites in Nginx.  It appears that the
above basically says, "if the file exists, serve it, otherwise hand the
request to PHP".  In Nginx that equates to:

location / {
    root /path/to/docroot;
    expires 30d;
    index index.php;
    error_page 404 = index.php; 
    log_not_found off;
}

location \.php$ {
    # ... usual PHP FastCGI stuff
}
