I would agree that a project to rewrite kstat(1) in C requires investigation; in particular, an expected part of such a proposal would be a means of allowing access to raw kstats via the various APIs offered without simply having multiple copies of that information.
My personal preference would be for all the raw kstats to be replaced by named ones, then the horrid "Platform x OS version x private header file" mess which we now have would be gone. We'd have to keep the raw kstats around for a while, but once they have gone consuming kernel statistics in a platform-independent and release-independent way becomes a *whole* lot easier.
