The "normal" method to access the PMCs is via cpc(3CPC), or cputrack(1M). Probably mentioned in the orig thread, hence the question for the reference. Also curious as to what exactly it is you need them for in DTrace ?
The *huge* advantage that you get with DTrace is that of context. Being able to tie user-land or kernel context on a global basis to events is a massive advantage over what is there at the minute. Imagine just being able to get a global view of exactly where your DTLB misses are coming from. That's powerful stuff.
