Yes.
The "traphandle" directive simply invokes a program to process the trap.
It doesn't care whether that program is written in perl, C, Java, Pascal,
Basic, Ada, Lisp, Modula-2, Forth, Logo,  or something that you've
invented yourself.
   As long as it accepts the trap information in the format specified,
you can code it however you like.

Yes - this is possible.
See 'apps/snmptrapd_handlers.c' for examples of the internal trap handler
interface.

Unfortunately there isn't any support for cleanly linking in separate
C code files (equivalent to the --with-mib-modules mechanism for the
agent).   So you'll have to add your handler to the snmptrapd code
yourself, and recompile.
     But it's certainly possible.
