Is there any way to get the process ID of of the process attempting to conduct a FILEOP from within the kauth listener?

For the fileop scope, you are guaranteed that the current process is valid. Thus, you can get this using proc_selfpid.

To understand this better, you might want to read the "Context" section of Technote 2127 "Kernel Authorization".
