Is there a discovery script already written to do this that I'm not seeing or
setting up properly? Or do I need to write one of my own?

Yes this is the area where Docsis reports all of it specialized info

I'm currently attempting to write a discovery script that won't care what kind
of cmts it is.  It would take an mib from the $param variable for whatever
device I need to check and match the output against the next comma separated
value in $param for that device's specific interface type (ie an upstream
interface) then return each interface that matches.  Then the poller groups
would take care of the rest.  Is this how it should be written? And/or is there
already something that will do this for me that is built into JFFNMS?

Thanks for replying, I appreciate your help.  I'm trying to talk my boss into
using this software over some commercial software that does half as much in
twice the amount of time, not to mention the flexibility that open source
offers.  If we can get this going soon, that will prove my point 

Thanks,
Kory
