I'm not sure there's an actual port - it seems like there'd be
licensing issues, and/or objections to providing kernel hooks with no
in-tree users:

I'd certainly be interested if there was: I've been working on some
Ruby bindings for DTrace, which let you run D scripts from Ruby, and
get the trace data back:
