I'd definitely recommend you avoid DTrace for this.  As I mentioned in my previous post, DTrace is intended to be a debugging tool, and doesn't really present a stable API for application development.

You best option for this might be a Kauth KEXT, as described in TN2127 "Kernel Authorization".

It's hard to know for sure whether this will give you all the information you need to complete this task, but it's a good start.
