Not at all.  I just haven't had time to sweep through pkgsrc and switch
packages that need ucd-snmp to use net-snmp instead.  The net-snmp
buildlink2.mk file has some smarts for using the ucd-snmp-compatibility
headers and libraries.  I think most packages that use ucd-snmp should
work if you do:

	USE_UCD_SNMP=	YES
	.include "../../net/net-snmp/buildlink2.mk"

in place of including the ucd-snmp/buildlink2.mk file.
