A few comments:

 * I tried to add a dependency on procfs to linprocfs, but the module
   dependency systems seems flaky; two out of three times I get "KLD
   linprocfs.ko: depends on procfs - not available" even though procfs
   is loaded (and /proc is mounted). Further, reference counting seems
   to be broken; the kernel will not let me unload a module it loaded
   as a result of a dependency (e.g. unload procfs; load linprocfs,
   which forces procfs to be loaded; unload linprocfs; unloading
   procfs fails with "attempt to unload file that was loaded by the
   kernel")

 * I'd love to see a command (e.g. kldinfo) that tells me the version
   number of a particular module, as well as what other modules it
   depends on.

 * linprocfs has disgusting amounts of code copied verbatim from
   procfs. I'll see what I can do to eliminate at least some of that.
