man procfs
PROCFS(5)                 FreeBSD File Formats Manual                PROCFS(5)

NAME
     procfs – process file system

SYNOPSIS
     proc            /proc   procfs  rw 0 0

DESCRIPTION
     This functionality is deprecated.  Users are advised to use
     libprocstat(3) and kvm(3) instead.

     The process file system, or procfs, implements a view of the system
     process table inside the file system.  It is normally mounted on /proc.


I can't find anything that uses procfs anymore.
