Not really, no.
The uptime value is meant to be the uptime value of the sending SNMP entity.
If you're sending a trap using "snmptrap", then snmptrap is the sending entity,
not the agent. Who is to say that there *is* an SNMP agent running on
that system anyway?
Strictly speaking, the uptime should probably be the uptime of the snmptrap
command - i.e. probably less than a second every time (since it would be
re-set for each invocation).
We thought that was not really very helpful, so settled on using the
uptime of the system as a whole.
