I don't think that Frodo could ever have become powerful enough to truly command the Nazgul. The Nazgul weren't directly enslaved to the One Ring, but to the Nine Rings. And as Sauron held the Nine, Frodo would have had to be able to command Sauron first - and that wasn't going to happen.

The Nazgul could have been intimidated with the One Ring, perhaps, and they might have pretended to obey Frodo's commands, but they wouldn't have been enslaved to Frodo.
