I tried specifying the fully qualified path, with no luck. However, when I changed SNMPVar to /tmp, apache started up and wrote a bunch of wwwbucket.* files, so that hurdle is past. (although I'm still not sure what's wrong with /etc/httpd/var)
However, the snmpwalk test times out, and I'm seeing this line in my error_log:
[Wed Oct 11 14:41:58 2006] [error] SNMP: CovalentSNMP/2.3.0 (SNMP) could not be started init_master_agent: Invalid local port (Permission denied)
Any idea which port it's complaining about and/or what to do about it?

Yep, you hit the nail on the head with this one.
Thanks!
