Comment (by kencu):
FYI, quite a bit of libproc is actually already in libSystem.dylib on
Tiger Intel. It only needs the libproc.h header (see TigerBrew for an
example) to work on Tiger.
I did not bring this header into MacPorts because the guts are not there
in Tiger PPC, which was all I really cared about. But it might do the job
for Tiger Intel in some or most cases.
libproc is hard to duplicate (I tried three years ago) as it needs kernel
support for lots of things to work. Some of the simpler things libproc is
used for, like the name or location of the process, can be duplicated in
other ways, though.
I did build a new kernel for TigerPPC that had some of the libproc support
in it -- but then I realized that was a non-starter for MacPorts anyway,
so abandoned that idea.
