Currently, you can use ktrace and kdump; you need to compile your kernel with "options KTRACE". Soon, hopefully, I'll be able to do development, and finish my procfs-based truss-clone. (It's got a couple advantages over, and a couple of disadvantages under, ktrace. The user program itself is fairly simple and straightforward, as is the paradigm in the kernel.)
