Creating a file in /proc is going to require a kernel module or a patched kernel. Chapter four[1] of _Linux Device Drivers_[2] describes how to create a file in /proc. That said, it's no longer considered good form to add anything to /proc. The new home for this information is the /sys filesystem or debugfs. LWN has a quick guide for using debugfs[3].
