I was going to suggest likewise, but that part that says "... that I can't change what is reported via SNMP" pretty much eliminated the option of tweaking the 'bandwidth' parameter in the device.

For example I have a 50Mb MPLS on a 100Mb Ethernet port. I want the % used and % alerting metrics to be based on 50 and not 100.
On cisco gear, you can look at setting 'bandwidth <whatever>' on the interface itself. In most cases this won't change actual network functionality. This is used by things like EIGRP in its routing metric work, so you'll want to be sure that isn't an issue first.
