See this blog post for a complete example of how to optimally use ServiceStack and NHibernate together:

public class Global : HttpApplication
{
    public class SampleServiceAppHost : AppHostBase
    {
        private readonly IContainerAdapter _containerAdapter;
        public SampleServiceAppHost(ISessionFactory sessionFactory)
            : base("Service Stack with Fluent NHibernate Sample", typeof(ProductFindService).Assembly)
        {
            base.Container.Register(sessionFactory);
        }

        public override void Configure(Funq.Container container)
        {
            container.Adapter = _containerAdapter;
        }
    }

    void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var factory = new SessionFactoryManager().CreateSessionFactory();

        (new SampleServiceAppHost(factory)).Init();
    }
}
