If you are using MRTG in RRD mode, and using routers2.cgi to view it, all 
you need is to add the following for the target:

  routers.cgi*Options[targetname]: fixunit

That will graph the load average correctly, even though it's querying a 
string value via SNMP.

I've got it querying almost 80 servers using:

# 1 and 15 minute load averages
Target[server_load]:                    laLoad.1&laLoad.3:net...@server
SetEnv[server_load]:                    MRTG_INT_DESCR="System: Load Avgs"
Title[server_load]:                     System: Load Avgs
MaxBytes[server_load]:                  100
ShortLegend[server_load]:
YLegend[server_load]:                   Load Avg
Legend1[server_load]:                   1-min:
Legend2[server_load]:                   5-min:
Legend3[server_load]:                   Peak 1-min:
Legend4[server_load]:                   PeaK 15 min:
LegendI[server_load]:                   1-min:
LegendO[server_load]:                   5-min:
Options[server_load]:                   nopercent gauge
routers.cgi*Options[server_load]:       nomax fixunit
routers.cgi*Icon[server_load]:          load-sm.gif

Which gives a nice graph like the attached image.
