Ken,

Probably the easiest way is to use the extensible functionalities of 
the UCD-SNMP package.  What this package does is allow you to 'create'
your own OID's, under the ucd entrprise number, that execute functions
on what is essentially a command line.  You can have it execute
shell scripts or perl scripts or unscripted commands.

Or you can use the "Pass Through Control" (quoted from snmpd.conf) 
capability of UCD-SNMP.

<snmpd.conf>
###############################################################################
# Pass through control.
###############################################################################
# 
#   pass MIBOID EXEC-COMMAND
#
# This will pass total control of the mib underneath the MIBOID
# portion of the mib to the EXEC-COMMAND.  
#
# Example:  (see the script for details)

pass .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255 /bin/sh /tmp/passtest

# % snmpwalk -v 1 localhost public .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255
# enterprises.ucdavis.255.1 = "life the universe and everything"
# enterprises.ucdavis.255.2.1 = 42
# enterprises.ucdavis.255.2.2 = OID: 42.42.42
# enterprises.ucdavis.255.3 = Timeticks: (363136200) 42 days, 0:42:42
# enterprises.ucdavis.255.4 = IpAddress: 127.0.0.1
# enterprises.ucdavis.255.5 = 42
# enterprises.ucdavis.255.6 = Gauge: 42
#
# % snmpset -v 1 localhost public .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255.1 s "New string"
# enterprises.ucdavis.255.1 = "New string"
#

# For specific usage information, see the man/snmpd.conf.5 manual page
# as well as the local/passtest script used in the above example.

###############################################################################
# Further Information
#
#  See the snmpd.conf manual page, and the output of "snmpd -H".
</snmpd.conf>

This should accomplish what you want.
