I'm only at a brightly-coloured-belt level with MRTG,
so one of the black belts may give you better help.
I guess that means that cfgmaker noticed something missing
from the command line, tried to display some documentation
to help, and tripped over something in your installation.

You'll need one of those black belts to say whether this
is significant.

That looks to me like a warning that your target host
(localhost: the Mac itself) is not running an SNMP daemon,
or is blocking incoming SNMP probe requests on the localhost
address.
Is your Mac actually running an SNMP daemon?
( try 'ps -ef | grep snmp' or 'ps auxww | grep snmp' )
Are you actually trying to monitor the Mac on which you
plan to run MRTG? If so, MRTG has to be able to talk
to the SNMP daemon, which must be running and reachable.
Otherwise, you should point cfgmaker at the unit you want
to monitor, rather than at localhost.

If the configuration contained no targets, indexmaker would
have nothing to go on. Your assumption is reasonable.
I hope this helps.
