Only if your native OS agent can proxy the Squid subtree
to the Squid SNMP agent. Many OS agents have proxy capabilities.

Correct.
What most people do is that they run two agents. One system agent on the
standard SNMP port and the Squid agent on the Squid SNMP port.

Squid does not really claim to be MIB II compliant. The Squid agent only
claims to provide the Squid mib details, not a full MIB II. The MIB II is
intended for whole systems, not an application.
