Then they should go in a file 'my-agent.conf' probably in
the same directory as the usual 'snmpd.conf' files.

No - it's up to you to create the config files yourself.

Try
/usr/local/etc/snmp/my-agent.conf
or
/usr/local/share/snmp/my-agent.conf
If that doesn't work, run the agent using -Dread_config
to see where exactly it's looking.

Have a look through the 'agent/mibgroup' tree, for mention
of "snmpd_register_config_handler". This includes the
name of the routine used to parse that particular config token.
How you then get that information to the code that needs to
use it is up to you - the existing MIB code should illustrate
various possible approaches.
