I believe the functions you need are in kern/uipc_socket.c
(socreate, sosend, soreceive, soclose, sosetopt..)

Alternately, you could also do as follows, for each
of the above functions
so->so_proto->pr_usrreqs->pru_sosend(so, 0, uio, 0, 0, 0,
                            uio->uio_procp)

I am not sure if netgraph (netgraph/ng_ksocket.c) would
work, since some part of ng_ksocket_rcvmsg() is not
implemented (e.g. accept)

For sample usage of these functions, see 
 nfs/nfs_socket.c
 nfs/krpc_subr.c
 fifofs/fifo_vnops.c
