There's a known problem with mismatching ifindexes with Net-SNMP
on OpenBSD, see http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.misc/155142
(if anybody has worked out a fix they haven't made it known to the right
people yet ;-)

In the ports tree, yes, but there is also /usr/sbin/snmpd which has been
part of the base OS since 4.3. You can edit /etc/snmpd.conf and enable it
with snmpd_flags="" in rc.conf.local; see snmpd(8), snmpd.conf(5).

If you have any problems with that I would suggest redirecting to an
OpenBSD mailing list. I'm using it with mrtg and rtg and it's working
pretty well (it also supports things like interface descriptions which
Net-SNMP doesn't yet).
