Hi ,
SNMP implimentation in vSphere 4.0 is different from ESX 3.5.x .
You need to download a zip file containing the set of SMIv2 (RFC2578/STD58)
compliant MIB modules for use with ESX/ESXi and vCenter along with
related implementation notes. These MIB modules support all ESX, ESXi
and vCenter product releases through version 4.0.
For SNMP configuration details , See chapter 5 (Configuring Hosts and vCenter Server: SNMP and vSphere)
in the vSphere Basic System Administration guide.

They created a new agent for SNMP. See the following link to enable the agent. Read the manuals indicated at the end of the thread to configure the notification agent and trap setup. That should point you in the right direction. The old snmpd is not going to work at all for VMware specific traps. You will also need MIBs from file VMware-esx-mibs-1.0.0-160789.zip
