The NXT port on the digital sidecar is for I2C NXT sensors. The touch sensor is simply a switch and so should be connected to the digital IO, just like any other switch. Making an interface cable might be a pain.

Connect pin 1 of the touch sensor to the signal pin of the DIO and pin 2 of the touch sensor to ground, and you're set.
