64-bit SNMP counters for FreeBSD && graphing bandwidth usage

Hi,

Is there any way to have 64-bit SNMP counters in FreeBSD? Especially for
ifInOctets/ifOutOctets. It seems the built-in bsnmpd only has
Counter32, and net-snmpd the same (--enable-mfd-rewrites, which is
supposed to help, seems to only work in Linux).

My systems are pushing more than 100 mbps these days, and graphing
bandwidth usage with 32-bit counters gives funny-looking graphs.

Cheers,
