Assuming you're running SunNet Manager 1.1:
The agent does not need to be rebuilt.  The snmp proxy agent reads all the
information it needs from a schema file.  
  1) Using the mib2schema program provided with SunNet Manager, you can 
     translate the Cisco Mib to a SunNet Manager schema file.  
  2) Add the new schema file to the agents directory on the manager station
     and any machines that will proxy between the cisco box and the manager
     station.
  3) All you need to do from there is edit the snmp.hosts file to associate
     the apropriate schema file and read/write community strings with the 
     Cisco's hostname.  The format of the snmp.hosts file should be 
     documented in the manuals. 

There is also a man page for mib2schema.
