Not with the binary installed from the package. You need to be root to start gotd, unless you have modified the source code to allow otherwise. I agree that it might be better to show the absolute path in argv/pgrep. However, /etc/rc.d/sshd also uses a non-abspath pexp so I doubt this problem is specific to this port.
