Technically yes.

To stop the message:
Tell it to store the data at some place where it is allowed to
write, this is done using the environment variable
SNMP_PERSISTENT_DIR.
To stop it from writing:
Tell it not to try, this is done using --noPersistentSave=yes

Typically things that the MIBs describe as persisting between sessions.
One example is that you can set the system description (sysDescr) using
snmp, if you do that then it's value will be stored in the persistent
file.
Additionally there is things like how many times the daemon have been
restarted and the engine id.
