Do you mean a subagent? Generally, an "agent" handles SNMP requests
from outside entities and determines the answer, either from its own logic or
by querying attached "subagents", which each handle typically only a specific
MIB or two.

For a subagent - yes, in principle, but there's no support for such in
net-snmp.

You can implement a virtual subagent with the "extend" directive of
snmpd.conf like so:
extend .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.9999.99 agent-99 /opt/acme/bin/perl
/opt/acme/bin/my-agent.pl
Perhaps this is what you are trying to do?
