As far as I know, SGMP/SNMP is the only purpose for which IANA has
consciously given out OIDs.  Nothing says they can't do it for
any other usage if they want to, but I can't identify any documented
instance (e.g., in RFC 1340) where they have done so.  So I guess you
could ask for anything, but in fairness/honesty anyone who does so
should make it clear what they are doing.
