In general, net-snmp has no knowledge what *destination* address (like 
the one listed in a trapsink line) is reachable over which interface or 
source address. localhost probably could be treated as a special case 
but isn't.

However, you can *configure* the agent's source address for sending 
notifications by specifying

[snmp] clientaddr <IP address>

which can even be 127.0.0.1 if you send to/from localhost only. Does it 
work for you?
