Um.  Sounds like you want access to the management port.

from the varnishd man page:
        -T address[:port]
               Offer a management interface on the specified address and port.  See Management Interface  for
               a list of management commands.

For us, -T :6082 does the trick - we poll our stats from there.

echo "stats" | nc $server $port

and parse and go.
