The kstat command is written using the same interfaces that are
available to C programmers. It's certainly possible to re-create the
behavior that you describe.
Check out the explanation for ks_snaptime in man page for kstat(3KSTAT).
This shows you how to compute activity rates by comparing kstat
snapshots and dividing by the time elapsed between two snapshots. It
would be straight forward to compute the difference between two
snapshots, if you're just interested in comparing number of events that
occured between two snapshots.
The very first search result from Google for the terms "kstat example"
returned a nice article from the Sun Developer Network. It might be
helpful and is available here:

Good luck.
