After some looking through the mib it clicked and I can now create VLANs 
using SNMP without any problems. The net-snmp command line to create a 
VLAN is as such.

snmpset -v2c -c <community string> <hostname or IP> 
.1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.2.6.1.3.<VLAN NUMBER>.<INTERFACE IN VLAN> i 4 
.1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.2.6.1.4.<VLAN NUMBER>.<INTERFACE IN VLAN> i <1 or 2>

the VLAN Number could be for example 100, the interface in VLAN is the 
interface that you want to assign into the VLAN. As far as I can tell 
you must assign an interface into the vlan in order to create it. the 
integer value 4 is to create the vlan on the switch. the second OID is 
to create a tagged or untagged interface depending if you set 1 or 2.

for example

.1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.2.6.1.3.1009.897 i 4 
.1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.2.6.1.4.1009.897 i 1

Would create vlan 1009 and include port 897 as a tagged interface. (on 
one line). You can get the Interface number by walking the device.
