Hi, I speak for kernel 2.4; about 2.6 I don't have much idea, but it shouldn't be different. The proc filesystem does not map to any space on the hard drive or any other physical media. It is an interface with the kernel. When you read/write any entry in the proc filesystem, the kernel generates/accepts the data on the fly. Every entry in the proc filesystem is associated with a kernel module or some part of the core kernel itself.
