This looks OK to me. With recent emacs versions you could also use
eval-after-load:

(eval-after-load "nethack"
  '(progn
     (define-key nh-map-mode-map (kbd "<left>") 'nethack-command-west)
     (define-key nh-map-mode-map (kbd "<up>") 'nethack-command-north)
     ...))

Are you using the numerical keypad? Are those keys sending the key
sequences you expect? Or maybe it's kp-left, kp-up etc? You can verify
with C-h k <hit the keypad-left key here> for example.
