This appears to resemble something of interest:
freebeast(6.3-S)[18] cat /usr/ports/security//swatch/pkg-descr
SWATCH - The Simple WATCHer and filter

Swatch is designed to  monitor  system  activity.   Swatch
requires a configuration file which contains pattern(s) to
look for and action(s) to do when each pattern is found.

freebeast(6.3-S)[19]=20


Caveat:  I've not used it, though I've seen references to it.

Peace,
