Is fork() hook ever possible?

I need some sort of fork() hook to detect that pid is changed to re-stir
ar4random() after that (in the child), simple flag variable with
child's pid is needed.
Currently OpenBSD does almost that checking getpid() every time
arc4random() called, but it is very slow way to use getpid() syscall
repeatedly, about 12-15 times slower than just arc4random() without
getpid().
Any ideas?
