Jayson, I presume that walking the iptable was not a problem when you built and run the net-snmp daemon under 32-bit AIX - at least you didn't mention that in your posting. Did you by chance check that there were no nlist errors under 32-bit AIX?
Probably you've seen that Thomas Anders who is assigned responsible for your bug posting added a followup to your posting (since you posted it anonymously you cannot add a followup to it I think but after logging in to sourceforge.net you can at least monitor that bug). Thomas asks whether you're able and willing to help fixing the net-snmp problems, moreover he asked for your name and mail address...
