With your current setup already there is no point in having bsnmpd in contrib/.

The normal software in contrib/ has a public upstream repo and releases. It can
be imported into vendor SVN namespaces, and after that merged with svn into
src/contrib. AFAIR, this was the case for bsnmpd in the past.

Your current development setup virtually has no difference to any other FreeBSD
developer that has local patches in /usr/src, or own fork of FreeBSD on github
with modifications in area of interest.
