I'm doing identical polling and have not experienced problems with ifIndex not matching up. However, I have had long talks w/ Cisco about the MSFC switching method only allowing for the first packet of any flow to be recorded and then having the rest switched at layer2 (outside NetFlow's view).
The way I solved this was using the 64 bit HC counters to poll the Gig interfaces corresponding to the uplinks I'm getting NetFlow data from. I use NetFlow to calculate a rough % and then multiply this by the SNMP MB/sec average for an average Mb/sec to a given AS.
Hope this helps,
