You could save some typing using the C-FFI.

;; getpid.ss
(module getpid mzscheme
   (require (lib "cffi.ss" "compiler"))
   (provide getpid) ;; () -> integer
   (define getpid
     (c-lambda () int "getpid")))

mzc --auto-dir $PLTHOME/collects/getpid/getpid.ss
mzscheme -L getpid.ss getpid -e '(display (getpid))'
