You can disable the checks globally using the nomib2 command:

NoMib2: yes

or, you can disable the check on a per-target basis using:
RouterUptime[Target]: community at ip-of-router-you-can-get-uptime-from


The manual says:
NoMib2
Normally we ask the SNMP device for 'sysUptime', 'sysName' properties some
do not have these. If you want to avoid getting complaints from mrtg about
these missing properties, specivy the nomib2 option.

An example of agents which do not implement base mib2 attributes are
Computer Associates - Unicenter TNG Agents. CA relies on using the base OS
SNMP agent in addition to its own agents to supplement the management of a
system.
