It can but after all that I discovered that Net-SNMP doesn't give anything 
terribly helpful regarding block device performance - the most it will give you 
is "number of kb transferred since system was rebooted" - which is next to 
useless unless you can guarantee the exact time interval between SNMP polls and 
work accordingly.

In the end I solved it by writing a script which wraps around iostat and 
calling it over SSH to get the performance data.

I still think something generic would be useful, if only because I'm sure I'll 
find another requirement which would be well served by such a feature before 
long.
