No.

Because it's not part of the SNMPv1 protocol.
Counter64 was only introduced with SNMPv2.
It is not a valid type in SNMPv1.

Use SNMPv2c or SNMPv3

The Net-SNMP suite also supports a type 'ASN_OPAQUE_COUNTER64',
which can be used with SNMPv1.   But this is a private mechanism,
and won't work with any other SNMP software.
   If you want to stick to the standards, you should use SNMPv2c/3,
or stick to 32-bit values.
