Thank you (again) for the reply.
Even though I had previously read the (net)snmpd manpage, I went through it
again, and found (apparently, missed it before):
-r Do not require root access to run the daemon. Specifically, do
not exit if files only accessible to root (such as /dev/kmem
etc.) cannot be opened.
So, I added 'netsnmpd_flags="-r -u _netsnmp -I -ipv6"' to /etc/rc.conf.local,
and netsmtpd now starts without as expected.
# rcctl start netsnmpd
netsnmpd(ok)
Thanks again
