I think it's typical to prefix #defines/functions in a manner so that
the average user code will not conflict with any of the
#defines/functions.  

So prefixing NETSNMP to each of the #defines will "flag" that they are
netsnmp specific, thus the average user code can't conflict w/ it.  I
believe it's also common to prefix w/ "__" to indicate something is
internal to a library.

I'm not sure how painful this would be w/n the net-snmp code base, but I
believe this is the "correct" way to deal with it.
