That's probably correct.
There was a patch applied to the main development branch fairly recently,
which addresses this issue.  See
   http://net-snmp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/net-snmp/trunk/net-snmp/agent/snmpd.c?r1=16375&r2=16437&pathrev=16437

for the relevant code changes.

Note that the actualy patch also amended the configure environment, to detect
and define the HAVE_INITGROUPS token.  But if you're applying this to your
own copy of the code, then it's probably simpler to omit this particular test,
and just work with
    #if HAVE_GETPWNAM && HAVE_PWD_H
