I'd hazard a guess it'd depend on the Borg in question - how much of their biologic nervous system is still in place/in use.

@VBartilucci, as far as I know their bodies still have nerves so I think that means they have a nervous system and it could be affected by a nerve pinch

I think that the Vulcans would be busy being assimilated/wiped out, so they'd have no time for nerve pinches...

My guess would be the pinch would work a couple-three times and then not. Such a specialized attack would be adapted and compensated for. New cyborg cable linkages and a nerve-rerouting and other argle-bargle would render the drones immune.

A nerve pinch would (with reasonable certainty) work on a humanoid Borg.
Tuvok is just about to "attempt" it in VOY: Unimatrix Zero, Part II when he's interrupted. Given that he's the ship's Security Officer and has extensive hands-on knowledge of Borg physiology, it seems very unlikely that he'd try it if he wasn't reasonably confident that it'll work.
TUVOK: I will attempt to deactivate him.
And we see Spock doing it (successfully) in the Star Trek comic Boldly Go #4
For the record, it doesn't work at all in the non-canon Star Trek Online game, showing effectiveness only on (some) entirely biological organisms.
