I don't know whether it's even possible to have a module do so, unless you can somehow *replace* the loopback driver code.

I don't believe it is possible to change libpcap in such a way as to make it possible to sniff the loopback device; I don't think the loopback driver in Solaris supports it. - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
