  The key here is "via a snmp request."  So, how do MIB writes that affect daemon operation become part of the persistent, rather than in-memory, configuration?  My short answer is "I don't know" because I haven't had to deal with writes on my project yet.  But a little Googling around reveals the "snmpd_store_config(char *)" method, which looks like a key to your problem.

  Take a look at the code in "agent/mibgroup/mibII/system_mib.c," maybe that will help.  If you're running a binary distribution package, then I really don't know.
