You can get Net-SNMP from Dartware however, and install it on Mac OS X no

Sure, but if you're going to install software on the Macs you could
install your own software that gave you exactly the information you
needed (and worked on 9 and X). I think this conversation is
predicated on detecting the Macs out of the box.
One other option is to port scan the machine and see what services
are available and how it responds to those services. It's probable
that you could aggregate enough info to detect Mac OS 9 vs Mac OS X
vs PCs in that way.
