Can snmpd do different actions based on incoming port?

I've been fiddling and Googling on this for a few days and getting 
nowhere, so I thought I'd ask here.  Sorry if this is covered elsewhere 
or totally obvious; I'm not finding it.

I know I can use one or more "forward default 10.10.10.10:162" lines in 
'snmptrapd.conf' to forward traps to another host.  I also know I can 
listen on more than 1 port, say 162 and 5162 [1].  Once I do that, I'd 
like to do something different based on which port the trap came in on.

At a high level can I do this?

Trap comes in on 162:
	1) Write to file
	2) Forward to another machine or two
	3) Done
Trap comes in on 5162:
	1) Write to file
	2) Done

This is global, not based on OID (hence "forward default") or anything 
other than incoming port.  Can I forward traps coming in to 162 while 
not forwarding traps coming in to 5162 while writing all traps to the 
same place?

I'm running CentOS-5 with stock net-snmp-5.3.2.2-9.el5_5.1 and 
net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-9.el5_5.1 if it matters, though I'm open to 
upgrading to a newer version if needed (clues about CentOS-5 usable RPMS 
appreciated).

Thanks!
JP
