First and foremost, you should use a more recent Buildroot version.
Buildroot 2012.11 is really old, and you won't get much support for
this mailing list for a 3 years old Buildroot version, I'm afraid.

I guess you're using this Buildroot version specifically because it was
given to you by Marvell. However, nothing forces you to use exactly the
Buildroot provided by Marvell. You can use the official Buildroot with
no problem. I do use the latest Buildroot to build a rootfs for my
Armada 38x developments :)

Well, just enable the netsnmp package, and that should be pretty much
it. Maybe you'll need to adjust a few configuration files of snmpd.
