On *BSD it would be:

	# pkg_add lsof

but of course on *BSD the standard 'fstat' command already provides all
the information you could ever need about any open socket....

(On FreeBSD it's not quite as nice as NetBSD yet because you have to use
'netstat -A' to find the control address, and then 'fstat' to find the
process ID; but on the latest NetBSD now you just use 'fstat' alone as
it now shows almost all the details, leaving you only the hostname and
portname lookups to do.)

# fstat | fgrep :25    
postfix  smtpd       5280    4* internet stream tcp c0dbb5ac *:25
root     master     17377    9* internet stream tcp c0dbb5ac *:25
