WinPcap has both user-land and kernel-mode components, because the Windows kernels don't provide the necessary kernel-mode components.
On UN*X systems - for example, on OS X - the kernel-mode components are part of the OS, and libpcap only includes user-mode code.
The equivalent, in *BSD and OS X, of WinPcap's kernel-mode code is BPF, which you won't be able to use from a kext. In addition, BPF has no equivalent of the send-queue stuff to do synchronized transmission of packets - you can send packets, but that just immediately injects the packet into the network stack - so neither using libpcap from your kext, nor using raw BPF from your kext, would help you with your timing needs.
