Why not use cat? :)

On FreeBSD 8.0-RC1

# stat -f %i httpd.conf
688686

Instead of using some command that dumps inode 688686, I might as well use
cat on httpd.conf. Of course this doesn't work for inodes that are not
linked to any file.

dd or a few lines of python should get you what you're looking for. You
probably want to start from the superblock, go to the inode table and list
inodes which have no links.
