I don't realy see how.  The problem is that

1. the "i386v42mp-nat.c" (what a foul name!) code needs access to 
   the debug registers stored in the "pr_family" part of the 
   prstatus.pr_lwp structure, which is only known to procfs.c

2. It also needs to issue a PCSDBREG command via procfs.

So it needs some horrid special access to stuff only procfs knows.
