No.
I mean installing these modules manually.

i.e. rather than

    cd perl ; make install

which will attempt to install the modules into the system location
(typically requiring root access).
Instead do something like:

    mkdir $HOME/perl
    mkdir $HOME/perl/NetSNMP
    cd perl
    cp SNMP.pm   $HOME/perl/
    cp ASN/ASN.pm OID/OID.pm default_store/*.pm  $HOME/perl/NetSNMP


then tweak the mib2c script to add

   use lib $HOME/perl;

so that the script will look there as well.


Note that this is completely untested, and I'm no perl expert.
But it ought to work.
