If the ip addesses are secondary addresses, how can
you bind a port to a secondary address ?

You have distinct ip adresses (no matter if on physical or virtual interfaces), so net-snmp will do that for you by just calling

snmpd [...] 10.0.0.1:161
snmpd [...] 10.0.0.2:161
snmpd [...] 10.0.0.3:161

If you are
logged on the box and request 127.0.0.1:161 what will
happen ?

If you want snmpd to also listen on the loopback interface, pick one of the snmpds above and add " 127.0.0.1:161" to the line.

Won't the box itself say 'address already in
use' if you try to run the snmpd process on the same
port  ?

As long as the ip addresses are distinct: no, it won't say so.
