    Some of these already exist or would be trivial to add:

    pstack is in ports, and can decode libc_r threads.
    pwdx could be a wrapper around fstat?
    pstop and prun are just wrappers around kill -{STOP|CONT} $@
    pwait would make wait_for_pids() in rc.subr simpler
    pstree is in ports and looks similar to ptree
