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.
