Would it be enough just to change the first sentence to say:
Watch allows the superuser to examine all data coming through a
specified tty, using the snp(4) device.
That at least gets the reference to snp(4) where you're more likely to see
it.
Or would you rather it also said something like
Note that the snp(4) device is not in the default kernel so you
must build a custom kernel in order to use watch(8).
?
