I believe the following would do it.
Confirmation would of course be appreciated - I don't have the exact
fonts to test myself. I believe the default fontconfig file will do
exactly what you want w/o modification, but I could be wrong.
<alias>
<family>Helvetica</family>
<accept>
<family>Nimbus Sans L</family>
</accept>
<prefer>
<family>Arial</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
<alias>
<family>Arial</family>
<accept>
<family>Nimbus Sans L</family>
</accept>
</alias>
