No, the master agent always lives under the impression that it knows
everything.  You may be able to fake it out by giving it an unreachable
proxy, something like "proxy udp:127.0.0.1:9 .1.3", and then having the
agentx registration use a better priority so that it overrides the proxy
config for each subtree that agentx registers.  However, this does use up
snmp server resources trying to proxy each request to something that will
not respond.

This is an interesting problem, especially if you have multiple
sub-agents.  What if you had one sub-agent that serves IP-MIB, and a
separate one that serves the system MIB?  Would you want to ignore requests
until both subagents are connected?
