Yes, first you shall add zenoss.snmp.UCDHardDiskMap modeler plugin to the device or class of devices you want to monitor disk I/O. This plugin will find out physical harddisks and add them to device in Zenoss as HardDiskcomponent..

Secondly you shall create or modify monitoring template named HardDisk. Just add the following:
diskIOReads .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.13.15.1.1.5
diskIOWrites .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.13.15.1.1.6
as snmp data source in this component.

If you wish you can also add thresholds and/or graphs for these variables.

You may also check ucdDiskIOMIB MIB object http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/docs/mibs/ucdDiskIOMIB.html http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/docs/mibs/ucdDiskIOMIB.html and see any additional variables you want to monitor.

Note, that this solution will work under Linux with net-snmp package. If you need data for different OS you shall search for correct OIDs.
