/proc (and /var/named/chroot/proc) is a virtual file system that maps
to kernel memory.  you cannot remove it, and it does not actually take
up any space.

You'll have to find another place to trim from.

http://www.freeos.com/articles/2879/  has some good info about /proc
if you are interested in reading up on it.
