Two possibilities spring to mind. One would be to run a second, separate trap receiver on the same server (listening on a different port). Then tweak one of the affected trap generators to send notifications to that second port as well as (or instead of) the normal recipient. The alternative would be to run "wireshark" (or similar) on the trap receiver host, to capture incoming traffic. You could then filter this data to extract the relevant traps. That shouldn't need to touch any of the SNMP setup at all.
