No - it's quite feasible to have a single master agent, with several
subagents running on remote systems.

Configure the master agent to listen on the AgentX TCP socket (rather
than the default local named socket), and the subagents to connect to
this server.

See "agentXSocket" in snmpd.conf(5) and the FAQ entry:
   How can I run AgentX with a different socket address?
