IPFIX-CONF (or any configurer) wouldn't set the process ID; it's read-only.

The configurer would create the process (technically, add the config 
which causes the process to be created by the OS), then could be told 
(or could discover) what the process ID is.
The cache name could be used to relate the given config to the process ID.

Do you mean, a "meteringProcessId" (IANA #144) as a read-only property?

And also an "exportingProcessId" (IANA #145) as a read-only property in 
the ExportingProcess?

Those seem useful.
