I think we need PKG_OPTIONS.net-snmp+= "-perl" in options.mk to make the 
current Perl modle conditions entirely optional.  With a few tweaks to 
Makefile, Net-SNMP does not build-depend or run-depend at all against 
Perl, which is nice, because the Net-SNMP agent is the type of package 
you'll want to use on a low-CPU/Mem/Storage/resource embedded appliance 
that doesn't have room for the 50+MB that Perl requires.

I'll submit a patch if I have time this weekend.
