Hmmm, it's ugly but perhaps not as ugly:

 bash$ fstat -n /kernel < /kernel | grep -v PID
 pherman  fstat        942    0 116,196608    235     100555 4114305  r  /kernel

(the 100555).  The bad side is that you'd have to do a little
trickery to catch the correct process.  It'd probably be better
just to add an option to fstat to display /usr/ports/sysutils/stat
type info...
