The simplest approach is probably to store your source files
somewhere outside the main Net-SNMP source tree, and
link this location into the mibgroup directory immediately
before running configure.

i.e
     mv net-snmp-5.4.1/agent/mibgroup/MyFiles  $HOME
     rm -rf net-snmp-5.4.1
     tar xzf net-snmp-5.4.1.tar.gz
     cd net-snmp-5.4.1
     ln -s $HOME/MyFiles agent/mibgroup/MyFiles
     configure --with-mib-modules=MyFiles/myFiles ....
     make

It *shouldn't* keep the old settings - no.
But given that you are currently having problems,
it's probably a safer way of working.
