What i am a bit unclear on is the anchor text. When the link is nofollowed does the anchor text still count?
Interesting question, when searching for an answer Google spat out this page.
On the page you will find a test conducted by a person asking the same question as you are.

Test Results:
Google does not value the anchor of nofollow links.
Yahoo doesn't value them eather.
MSN is too weak.
I don't take this person's opinion as an authority on the matter,
