Not portably; there are no system calls to retrieve such information,
even if it is stored. What do you need the pids for?

My auth package (c.s.unix volume 22) records the uid and pid that
started any authenticated connection; the uid is available through the
network as per RFC 931, and you can easily modify the daemon to spit out
the pid.
