I’m far from an expert on NixOS but using another package manager with nixos seems like it would defeat the entire purpose of the distro. It really seems like you must be ok with creating your own packages.
Here is how you create a package: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nixpkgs/Create_and_debug_packages
However - it’s hard to tell but flakes seem to be the emerging standard. Here is the documentation on flakes: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes
To answer your other question services are part of packages. For example here is NFS: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-23.11/nixos/modules/services/network-filesystems/nfsd.nix
