I think the UDP counters should be fixed already. Please have a look at net-2.6.25 and let us know if it's still broken. As to the SNMP counter issue in general, Christoph Lameter's new percpu code will greatly simplify this and we won't need to disable preemption or do the fancy softirq/user splitting that we have right now. I eagerly await its acceptance into the Linux kernel.
