I run it on my Linux system at home.  Obviously, SEToolkit does not work. 
Instead, there is a perl script called procallator.pl used as the data
gatherer.  I think it was in the contrib directory.  It gets a lot of data
from the /proc file system (hence its name) but gets some data from
parsing the output of UNIX commands.  I added some additional
functionality for parsing the output that reports my motherboard voltages
and temperatures.  Someone else added a way to get some stats from a web
server.

So, I suppose one could use procallator as a base for collecting data. 
There would be a lot of work to do to gather the data from a different OS.
 But, I would think that if it used typical commands to get the data, that
might impose a measurable load on the system you were trying to measure.

See http://www.dennett.org/orca/procallator for a sample.
