Not at this time no,

The snmptrapd program is fairly modular.  You'd need to copy the
existing forward code and simply add some filtering behavior for it.  If
you do so, please consider contributing it back to us so others can make
use of it too!

Start by looking at the parse_forward function in snmptrapd_handlers.c,
which is what is reading in the config file information.

CM> 3. Any alternative you would suggest, other than 2 ablove.

The other option is to use something within perl instead of C by using
the NetSNMP::TrapReceiver module.  C would probably be better if you
understand it though.
