Maybe something like this will suit you:

stat -f "%p %l %u %g %z %m %N" *

It produces output similar to the following:

100755 1 0 0 64 1201845218 blah

The fields that I choose are in the man page, so it should be easy 
reading, and is pretty close to `ls -l`.

As for as `ls` having this ability, it doesn't.

Cheers.
