It was obvious that the Nox were, technologically at least, way ahead of the Goa'uld, and at least on par with the Asgard and Tollan. But we rarely heard from or saw them beyond their associations with the Tollan. Considering the fact that, in many ways, the Ori were either on par with or maybe even more advanced than the Ancients, one wonders if they would've tried to spread origin to the Nox or simply wipe them out.
Obviously the Nox, who in my mind are as intractable in their ideology as the Ancients, wouldn't have fought them outright. But considering the Ori weren't able to detect a cloaked Odyssey, it seems they would have had much more difficulty tracking down the Nox.
But, naturally, the Ori would most certainly be aware of them. No way they'd let probably the most advanced race remaining in the Milky Way just skirt by.
So I guess the question isn't whether they'd have beat them, per say, but rather whether the Ori would have found them.
