I've never heard of a specific language which uses nom/acc in pronouns
and erg/abs in nouns, though I hear it is linguistically possible (and
don't, independently, see why it wouldn't be). More common is a split
between nouns and *some* pronouns on the one hand, and *other*
pronouns on the other: e.g. 1st and 2nd person pronouns = nom/acc, 3rd
person and nouns = erg/abs.
