The OP's question though was related to the fact that he had net-snmp
installed which results in 2 man pages for snmpd in the same section:

$ man -k snmpd
snmpd (8) - Simple Network Management Protocol Daemon
snmpd (8) - daemon to respond to SNMP request packets.

Man's default behavior is to stop at the first page it finds in the
path, which would be OpenBSD's snmpd. man -a (among various other
posted methods) allows you to get access to the the rest of them.
