What do you mean by "use" ?
If you've got an agent that you know implements these
MIBs, then the Net-SNMP tools should be able to recognise
the MIB object names, and retrieve the appropriate values
with no real changes.
If you want the Net-SNMP agent to *report* these values,
then this involves a significant amount of work.

If you already have a suitable agent, then no.
If you need to *extend* the agent to support this new MIB, then yes.

The default output format has changed since the FAQ was written.
Try
snmptranslate -m +FIBRE-CHANNEL-FE-MIB -IR -On fcFxPortName
or
snmptranslate -m +FIBRE-CHANNEL-FE-MIB -IR -Of fcFxPortName
That should work OK.

Because the agent does not implement this object.
You'll need to write code for that.
