It isn't in the ports tree, but rather in the base system so you don't
need to install it, just activate it.
Add the following line to /etc/fstab (if it isn't there already)

linproc         /compat/linux/proc      linprocfs       rw        0       0

and then issue the command 'mount linproc'

See also the linprocfs(5) manpage.
