setitimer() is defined in sys/kern/kern_time.c.  If you're looking for
parts of the kernel that *call* setitimer(), well, there aren't too
many of those (except for the Linux/SVR4/OSF emulators) - setitimer()
is a system call, designed to be called from userland programs.
man 2 setitimer for more details.

G'luck,
Peter
