A few of those utilities are avaliable right now (hell, I even wrote a pstree command to get a process tree listing a few months ago when I started messing about with procfs, but its rather crude atm), along with pcred, pflags, pgrep, plimit with what I've just written, and with a little magic, pmap, ptime, and the rest of them. But we'd need to extend our procfs just a little bit to work real magic (like say, proc-ps / proc-top), and I'm not prepared to start messing around with it in a big way, but if people are interested in a bunch of utilities like the sun /usr/proc/bin/ utilities, I might go ahead and write some.
