Comment (by kencu):

 No good news -- the `proc_info` kernel system call that backstops these
 functions appears to have made it into the last Tiger i386 kernel, but not
 the last Tiger PPC kernel.

 So the libproc headers might be able to be used on Tiger i386 -- but not
 PPC, at present. Most of us using Tiger use Tiger PPC for the MacOS9
 layer, and AFAIK there's no reason to stay on Tiger i386.

 Building a new kernel for Tiger PPC that has these calls in it is way
 beyond my skill set. Likewise, I don't know how to write a kernel
 extension (kext) that would offer this either. So it's possible Tiger PPC
 will permanently be out-of-luck for this.
