If you're talking about generic SNMP oids, certainly you can create a  
custom plugin to do this pretty easily. I've done it for some router  
checks; hunting for an interface description with a particular tag and  
then probing several other OIDs specific to that interface number.

check_snmp in the plugins package has the ability to check multiple  
OID's in one call but I believe that they all need to be of the same  
type. I'm not aware of any other general snmp plugins that allow you  
to do that but my memory is getting long here as I don't usually need  
much beyond the capabilities of check_snmp. It also sounds like you  
may be looking for snmpwalk capabilities as well. That a bit of a  
different beast than GETs of specific OID's.

For disks in particular, this might be useful to you -- http://nagios.manubulon.com/snmp_storage.html
