The pgsnmpd project has been active lately; you might want to check
it out and join its mailing list:

http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pgsnmpd/

If you have needs that pgsnmpd can't fulfill then you could write
a custom MIB and a custom AgentX subagent that plugs into a server's
regular SNMP agent.  This is easy to do with Net-SNMP and Perl, for
example.

Some network management systems can run scripts that gather information
by some arbitrary mechanism.  If pgsnmpd can't do what you want and
writing a custom MIB and subagent is too much work then you might be
able to use such a mechanism.

Can you provide more information about what you're trying to do?
What information are you interested in gathering and what monitoring
system are you using?
