No, net-snmpd has a good mechanism that is called pass and pass-persist.
This allows to write really simple programs (ask me for a skeleton),
you'd just have to write more code to open /var/log/bgpd.sock and
gather the information needed to answer for the OIDs.

If anybody is interested in doing this (I have some code available) for
BGP-MIB and possibly OSPF please contact me off-list, I can give
directions.
