I may have missed it in the man page, but I am unable to find a way to determine how many kevents are currently registered within a kqueue. If there is no method for a count, how about a way to find if a kqueue is empty or not. Besides tracking what events are still within a kqueue, this would make for an easier way to write an event loop. Currently, calling kevent() on an empty kqueue will still block. Also, I recommend that the man page mention that a kqueue may be close(2)'d. The only reference that it can be is that the manual page says the kqueue() call returns a descriptor.
