I'm not sure that the on-the-wire representation is particularly relevant here. Surely what's important is how the Net-SNMP library stores an IP address internally? If it stores it as an integer, then this would most naturally be handled in local byte order (and any conversion done as part of building/parsing the actual packet). If it stores it as a string, then it makes more sense to handle the byte-ordering when the string value is set or read (presumably via a suitable utility routine).
