Some of these already exist or would be trivial to add:
pstack is in ports, and can decode libc_r threads.
pwdx could be a wrapper around fstat?
pstop and prun are just wrappers around kill -{STOP|CONT} $@
pwait would make wait_for_pids() in rc.subr simpler
pstree is in ports and looks similar to ptree
