Do you mean macros or functions?  Functions you access just like you would
any external.
In nasm (assuming c), be sure to prepend an underscore to definition (.c
hello = .nsm _hello).

Believe or not the NASM maintainers thought of this and included sample
source with the distribution.

(this was edited to show the relevant stuff)
c:\djgpp\temp> nasm -help

usage: nasm [-o outfile] [-f format] [-l listfile] [options...] filename
    or nasm -r   for version info
valid output formats for -f are (`*' denotes default):
  * bin    flat-form binary files (e.g. DOS .COM, .SYS)
    coff   COFF (i386) object files (e.g. DJGPP for DOS)
