Unfortunately this won't work. The way Hyperion, Freenode's IRCD, is designed, server passwords not used as such get passed directly on to whoever happens to be using the nickname defined in the config as the 'identify service'. In Freenode's case, this just causes a PRIVMSG to be sent from your nick to NickServ, whichever server he happens to be using, with the identify command and password. It's no harder to hijack than a regular /msg. The same goes for the 'raw' nickserv commands, which are similarly translated to PRIVMSG.
This is compounded by the fact that due to the way Hyperion's server-hide works, it is in theory impossible for normal users to know which server another client is using, so '/msg NickServ@services.' doesn't work either.
