not according to the documentation

"Interface Load:"
" Compute the load of an interface and display it in a stripchart."
" The load is calculated using Leinwand's formula:"
""
" util = ( 8 * ( delta (ifInOctets, t1, t0)"
" + delta (ifOutOctets, t1, t0) ) / (t1 - t0) ) / ifSpeed"
""
" This formula returns incorrect results for full-duplex point"
" to point links. In this case, the following formula is used:"
""
" util = ( 8 * max ( delta (ifInOctets, t1, t0) ,"
" delta (ifOutOctets, t1, t0) ) / (t1 - t0) ) / ifSpeed"
""
" See Simple Times 1(5), November/December, 1992 for more details."
" The interface speed is usually retrieved from MIB-II but you can"
" overwrite it by setting the SNMP-Monitor:IfSpeed attribute."

so you must be able to add the attribute SNMP_Monitor:IfSpeed
