Are you sure those messages aren't old, from before you disabled bsnmpd?

sockstat -4 should show you what is listening on that port.  net-snmpd
starts a process called "snmpd", so you should be able to tell which
one is running by the process name.  If bsnmpd is still running, a
"killall" should shut it down.
