Comment (by kencu):

 Do you have any programming skills? The basic issue is that `proc_pidpath`
 was added in `10.5 Leopard` and it requires kernel support to implement
 easily.

 I have been looking at how to add that function to Tiger. The most common
 use for it is to find the calling processes' full path, and we can
 possibly work around that use case with an NS function that does something
 similar, if the calling process and the requested `proc_pidpath` are the
 same.

 To implement the function in general is turning out to be much harder than
 you would think. That information (full path for a PID) is just not easily
 there on Tiger.

 There are two good places to look -- both `ps` and `lsof` implement
 something similar without use `proc_pidpath` to do it. `ps` is
 approachable enough -- builds easily for me on Tiger with the existing
 sources on Apple's site. `lsof` does a better job, but is a real bear --
 uses a lot of `xnu kernel` headers which have been all messed up (on
 purpose it looks like) and just won't build.

 SO -- that's where we are. Can you help?
