Assuming you're using 7.0 or an older 7-STABLE: procstat(1) appeared after 7.0 
was released, but should be there if you slide forward on 7-STABLE.  You can 
use "procstat -k pid" to see kernel stack traces for kernel threads working on 
behalf of the process.  Depending on the level of detail you require, you can 
use -kk to also list function offsets inside the kernel, but the results are a 
bit harder to read.
