As long as each piece of code which handles data for this stack knows that it's handling data for that stack it should be able to account its memory allocations. The tricky part will be networking allocations because a NIC can of course handle data for all sorts of consumers. But I expect this can be greatly simplified with a few heuristics - work out how much memory your typical networking stack will allocate for a frame and tack that onto the total.
