If these informations are available through a /proc, it means that they are available in the kernel without having to open a /proc/something. Have you looked at how /proc/net/tcp is implemented in the kernel ? After a very quick look, it seems to be implemented at http://lxr.linux.no/source/net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c#L2394.
