 I believe that it has worked, at least on some ports, at least at some
 times.

 ktruss is pretty much equivalent to strace except that it's more
 transparent to the target, and thus works better.
 
 there's also ktrace/kdump, which separates the trace reporting from
 the execution; sometimes this is what you want, sometimes it isn't.
