It's because the current version of perl in the ports tree is 5.8.8
-- when the net-snmpd package was compiled it was linked against a later
version.  You can probably see this by examining the output of:

   % ldd /usr/local/sbin/snmpd

The fix is either:

   upgrade perl  (recommended, as there's a security advisory against
                  older versions of perl:
                  http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/5b47c279-8cb5-11dc-8878-0016179b2dd5.html 
                 )

or:

    compile the net-mgmt/net-snmpd port from sources

	Cheers,

	Matthew
