I'm running mrtg myself, and I remember having some problem with snmpd 
when I installed it. you should have a config file in /usr/local/etc/ 
named snmpd.conf and it should look something like this: 
http://fstaals.net/junk/snmpd.conf . I can't remember anymore if I had 
to change anything else, but I think that should be it.

Good Luck
