With apology/disclaimer, since I haven't tried it myself:
Since NEC has the ability to insert arbitrary impedances, or lumped
circuit elements, in wire segments, why not just include your matching
network in the model as part of the "antenna"? With appropriately
short wires (or perhaps a shield(!), so the matching network doesn't
radiate too much. -C.
