Wouldn't the opposite be more legitimate: using sysctl and falling back on
linuxprocfs when lacking functionality ?
(Depending on whether it's a FreeBSD *port*, or if you want to keep it as
general as you can)


Also, have you considered procstat ?
(as i read here:
http://ivoras.sharanet.org/freebsd/freebsd8.html
it is destined to replace procfs in a way, am I wrong ?)

Depending on how short term your application must be available (and how long it
will take to MFC procstat), it might do the thing.
