The best way to do it is to abstract the OS-dependant stuff from the
application into separate modules / classes / libraries / etc. and then
proceed by the second approach (use procfs on linux, use sysctl on FreeBSD).

The first approach would probably be tedious if the application is
non-trivial but there's also linprocfs which behaves more like the linux
procfs but it's also incomplete.
