/proc/net/pf_ring is still there.
The dkms format allows you to use pfring with the kernel version you want 
whereas previously it was bound to a specific kernel version. You need just to 
install the kernel header of the version you would like to use and build the 
dkms driver.
Running 
# dkms status 
you get the version of the dkms modules available and their status
Eg.:
# dkms status
e1000e-zc, 3.0.4.1.9033, 3.13.0-37-generic, x86_64: installed
igb-zc, 5.2.5.9033, 3.13.0-37-generic, x86_64: installed
ixgbe-zc, 3.22.3.9033, 3.13.0-37-generic, x86_64: installed
pfring, 6.0.3, 3.13.0-37-generic, x86_64: installed
