While it can be done (I do it), using MRTG/rateup/Cricket/etc. without SNMP
is much like pushing a car down the street. Sometimes it's The Right Thing
to do but for the other 99.4% of the time, it's far preferable to use the
engine to power it. 

UCD-SNMP is more than just the UCD SNMP daemon. It's also the client
programs and a collection of SNMP utilities. With them you can do most of
what you'd ever want to use SNMP for. MRTG is simply a data graphing
utility. It uses SNMP to collect the data points but that's pretty much all
of the relationship between the two.
