It is not possible with the snmpset command alone (you have to some computing
you cannot do by hand). See the snmpPasswd.cpp example in the consoleExample
directory of SNMP++v3.0. I do not know if it actually really works, but it is a
good
start.

VACM configuration can be easily done by SNMP SET. Just create
the appropriate rows like it is done in the main routine of the AGENT++
examples.
