This patch allows the SNMP code to work with the FreeBSD stack as well
as the OpenBSD stack.

Currently the branch only supports SNMP with the OpenBSD stack. This
is no longer the default stack for 2.0b1. FreeBSD should become the
stack everyone uses, but if people want SNMP they are forced to use
the old stack. This patch touches the two snmp packages only. It does
have the risk of breaking the OpenBSD support for snmp :-(
