<snip>Ahoy. List newbie here.
I've run into the exact same problem the user over at http://www.manucorp.com/archives/php-bugs/200504/msg00325.php seems to have encountered (running php with snmp enabled as module). After
For the next question, we need to look at the output a bit (this is from running a PHP-script btw. The regular apps don't seem to be so troublesome).

It looks like PHP is using persistent storage. See:
http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/FAQ.html#What_s_the_difference_between__var_ucd_snmp_and__usr_local_share_snmp_
In ext/snmp/snmp.c in the PHP 4.3.11 source file, starting at line 184 you'll see that it initializes snmp using the name "snmpapp" and there are 15 persistent variables. So that would explain why it is trying to write to the /var/net-snmp folder.
If you don't want it to write to /var/net-snmp, then try setting the SNMP_PERSISTENT_FILE environment variable to something that the user running PHP has write access to. For example, create /var/net-snmp-php and give the user write access to the folder, then set
SNMP_PERSISTENT_FILE=/var/net-snmp-php/snmpapp.conf
I would only set this variable for the process running PHP. Otherwise, if you run snmpd, it would also redirect snmpd's persistent file to that location.
