Yes.
The Net-SNMP agent can handle both community-based and SNMPv3
requests,  including requests with non-default contexts.

This MIB is indeed the standard mechanism for SNMP-based management of
community->context mapping.   And yes, you are correct that the Net-SNMP
agent does not support this MIB.

The configuration of community->context mapping must be done via the
snmpd.conf file - see the entry "com2sec" in the snmpd.conf(5) man page
for details.
