procps is the Linux /proc file system utilities. My package description
is: The Linux /proc file system utilities are tools for reporting about
and modifying the state of the system, including memory, processes,
sending signals to processes, etc. The commands include free, oldps,
pgrep, pkill, ps, skill, snice, sysctl, tload, top, vmstat, w and watch.
(kill is not installed; it is available in the sysutils/util-linux
package.) This version of procps is maintained by Albert Cahalan, based on
original code from Michael K. Johnson.

I packaged it for Pkgsrc but ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM= Linux-*-* because this
uses Linux include/asm/page.h. I never wasted time trying to port to and
*BSD, because I already have the tools I needed.

Is there some reason you need procps on FreeBSD? What tool(s) do you need?

If you need the Linux procps, then install your Linux compat packages. It
is included.
