I prefer the SPEC file that breaks each of the individual plugins into its own sub-package, which I think was the Fedora version of the SPEC file.

perl(Net::SNMP) is provided by an extra perl module, available from CPAN, RPMforge (http://packages.sw.be/perl-Net-SNMP/) or EPEL (http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/SRPMS/repoview/perl-Net-SNMP.html).

The perl module is a requirement of the check_ifstatus/check_ifoperstatus plugins.  You could try removing them from the EXTRA_DIST line of the plugins-scripts/Makefile.in file, and see how you go.
