There is the GoC 2008 project:
% cat /usr/ports/net-mgmt/bsnmp-ucd/pkg-descr
bsnmp-ucd is a module for bsnmpd which allows you to get memory, load
average, cpu utilization and other system statistics. It implements parts
of UCD-SNMP-MIB for this.

Maybe if more people started testing/using this, it could some day be in base.
