No strict evidence, only that there is not a single mention of ALL the nazgul at the Pelennor.
The rest is only conjecture: someone had to lead the assault on Lorien - why not the most obvious one, Khamul? - especially considering that with his Fell Beast he could return to Mordor in matter of hours. One more "shrieker" above Minas Tirith, one less, doesn't make much difference, but to have Khamul leading the host of Dol Guldur is a big asset.

Well, not sure... thinking about their aversion to water, maybe the hard rocks would've been preferable...
I always read it as aversion to flowing water, not the mire water or bathtub water. Something to do with Ulmo's power, I believe.
