    You probably want to know if your ulimit is exceeded, right? I blogged about this under linuxintro.org/wiki/Is_my_ulimit_exceeded; most importantly, the ulimit is a per-process restriction that you can find under /proc/PID/limits and instead of lsof I would use ls /proc/PID/fd to list the process' file descriptors.
