Strange - I've just tried this, and it asked me about 10 questions,
and then quit.
You do need to answer "no" when it asks if you want to create another
rocommunity line. If you keep answering yes, then of course it will
keep going.
I'm appending a copy of this run.
But remember that snmpd.conf is just a simple text file.
It's perfectly valid to create it by hand, using your favourite text editor.
It's always struck me as overkill to use "snmpconf -g basic_setup"
if all you need is a one-line file containing
rocommunity public
!

The following installed configuration files were found:
1: ./snmpd.conf
2: /etc/snmp/snmp.conf
3: /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
4: /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf
Would you like me to read them in? Their content will be merged with the
output files created by this session.
Valid answer examples: "all", "none","3","1,2,5"

The following files were created:
snmpd.conf
These files should be moved to /usr/share/snmp if you
want them used by everyone on the system. In the future, if you add
the -i option to the command line I'll copy them there automatically for you.
Or, if you want them for your personal use only, copy them to
/users/support/daves/.snmp . In the future, if you add the -p option to the
command line I'll copy them there automatically for you.
