No, Juniper's SNMP implementation is read-only for statistics 
gathering.

Instead of SNMP, Juniper implments JUNOScript and NetConf which are 
XML configuration languages which provide access to the entire 
configuration language of the router locally and remotely via a 
standard API.  There are also Perl bindings for this, so you can 
programmatically alter any part of the config.

You can see any part of the config tranlated into XML by adding "| 
display xml", e.g.:

rtr> show configuration | display xml
