Not really. A kproc (as far as I know) is a kernel related process. They are fired off by the kernel to perform different tasks. The kproc with PID 516 (or 514) is the "idle" one which is kicked off when your CPU has nothing better to do.

Sorry, I am not aware of any other significant PID's, but there isn't much you can do about kprocs. They are just there when they need to be there.
