The mibs are actually handled by the Net-SNMP package.  If you want to
understand how to get it to deal with loading vendor and other MIBs
that aren't in its default list then see:

http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial/tutorial-5/commands/mib-options.html

Once you understand that, the MIBS environment variable (which isn't
mentioned on that page but should be) can be used as the default -M
switch shown in that tutorial.
