Not necessarily. If your installation has been configured with 
--enable-embedded-perl (check "net-snmp-config --configure-options" if 
you're unsure), you can register your own *Perl* function via 
snmptrapd.conf:

   perl NetSNMP::TrapReceiver::register("trapOID", \&myfunc);

Check the NetSNMP::TrapReceiver(3pm) manual page for details.
