I don't use that often, in part because dtrace must be run as root. However, I think that the instruments from Instruments.app use that facility in a way that allows the instrumented application to be run as a regular user. If true than writing such an instrument (module?) would probably be the way to go. Needless to say such a module would need to be signed and possibly have special permissions that Apple might not want to sell. (Although one can build lldb and use a self-signed certificate to sign and get a functional debug server.)
