It just binds anonymously, so it is the OS that selects the port, using
whatever algorith it has for giving out ports.

Why would you care? Do you need that specific port for some thing else?
In that case you would probably have to look into tweeking the OS,
because any other application could allocate that port when you have
changed snmpd into binding to some specific port.
