I've configured the package to install under /usr/local, and built it,
but doing "make install DESTDIR=`pwd`/inst" after the build completes
results in stuff being installed under:-

/usr/local/include
/usr/local/share
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/man

and not into `pwd`/inst/usr/local/{include,man,share,bin} as I'd expect.
The only stuff that seems to respect DESTDIR is some of the header files
that end up in `pwd`/inst/usr/local/include and net-snmp-config, that
ends up in `pwd`/inst/usr/local/bin.

I built it like this:-

/configure \
     --prefix=/usr/local \
     --datadir=/usr/local/share \
     --sysconfdir=/etc \
     --localstatedir=/var \
     --libdir=/usr/local/lib \
     --with-mib-modules="host if-mib ucd-snmp/diskio disman/event-mib
smux mibII/mta_sendmail ucd-snmp/lmSensors" \
     --with-sys-contact="[email protected]" \
     --with-sys-location="London" \
     --with-logfile="/var/log/snmpd.log" \
     --with-persistent-directory="/var/net-snmp" \
     --with-default-snmp-version=3 \
     --enable-shared=yes \
     --enable-developer=yes \
     --enable-agentx-dom-sock-only \
     --enable-mfd-rewrites \
     --with-libs=-ldl \
     --with-cc=/usr/sfw/bin/gcc \
     --with-cflags="-Dsolaris_2" \
     --with-transports="UDP TCP" \
     --with-ldflags="-R/lib -R/usr/lib -R/usr/local/lib"

though that should make no difference, AFAICT.
