When compiling monitoring-plugins the path to snmpget can be specified 
during "configure":

 $ ./configure --help | grep -m1 snmpg
  --with-snmpget-command=PATH Path to snmpget command

Short of recompiling you could maybe use the PATH variable to force 
check_snmp to find a certain snmpget version. For example, but untested:
 
  PATH=/opt/snmp-5.8/bin check_snmp -H [...]

Hm, but that doesn't seem to work, because check_snmp has /usr/bin/snmpget 
hardcodes. So, recompiling it is, I guess :)

HTH,
Christian.
