Yeah, but it's _wrong_.

OK, so, you've loaded procfs into your kernel.  You now should be able
to, given that one single loaded copy, mount a procfs file system at
15 seperate places in your file system tree, right?

For file systems, in NetBSD, that's easy -- the names are strings.
For other things (e.g. syscalls), well, there's no particualarly easy
way to look up LKM names/numbers/whatever easily.
