It looks like best option would be to script something to parse 
snmptrapd logs and draw these stats periodically.

Looking at my snmptrapd.log, I see traps come through  with what seems 
to identify the sending host: " [UDP: [196.21.61.1]:64714]":

---
2009-09-03 11:33:45 <UNKNOWN> [UDP: [196.21.61.1]:64714]: 
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 = Timeticks: (325635303) 37 days, 16:32:33.03        
.1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.4.1.0 = OID: .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.5      
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.5.0 = IpAddress: 196.26.130.34    
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.412.1.1.1.0 = INTEGER: ipv4(1) 
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.412.1.1.2.0 = STRING:
---

Although the host specified above might be  proxy for other hosts, I'd 
be able to differentiate knowing the location of the agents, and still 
draw some kind of rough statistics on the 'highest sending proxy'. Does 
this sound reasonable?

 I was hoping for builtin features :-) Anyhow, I think the best option 
here would be to use a generic munin plugin to monitor snmptrapd.
