I don't know awk very well, but according to regex(7), shouldn't it be
[[:blank:]]:

frank@alhambra:~$ awk '/^[[:blank:]]*\/proc/ {print " " $2}' /etc/fstab
frank@alhambra:~$ awk '/^[:blank:]*proc/ {print " " $2}' /etc/fstab
 /proc
 /var/local/chrootsid/proc
frank@alhambra:~$ awk '/^[[:blank:]]*proc/ {print " " $2}' /etc/fstab
frank@alhambra:~$
