Using MRTG to track port usage?

I'm bringing up MRTG to do SNMP queries and produce web gifs of
traffic on some routers and comm-servers. Looks like I can watch
ethernet traffic on a PM, Ascend, Cisco, etc. But I want to watch port
usage for the comm-servers -- much more interesting than ether port
throughput.

Anyone using MRTG this way?

PS: MRTG is Multi Router Traffic Grapher -- perl which uses SNMP to
query and Boutelle's gd libraries to generate GIFs for inclusion in
web pages. It's really slick.
