If you just want the ifIndex, why don't you walk the IF-MIB::ifIndex
table?  If you're looking for the full name (ie, "Ethernet1/0"), you can
walk IF-MIB::ifDescr.  IF-MIB is not going to go away.

On the other hand, if you want CDP specific info, you're probably in
the right place.  Cisco uses a different subtree for experimental
OIDs, so I wouldn't worry about it being unofficial.
