By "unique function" I understand "single command". I think you need
some warm-up, but it's not difficult to do it with a few commands.
Below the offset "freq + 1" is empirical; your constant may differ from 1.

sysuse auto, clear
bysort rep78 : gen freq = _N
count if rep78 < .
local total = r(N)
gen mylabel = string(freq) + " (" + string(100 * freq / `total' ,
"%2.1f") + "%)"
twoway bar freq rep78, barw(0.9) || scatter freq rep78 , ms(i)
mla(mylabel) mlabpos(0)
gen freq2 = freq + 1
twoway bar freq rep78, barw(0.9) || scatter freq2 rep78 , ms(i)
mla(mylabel) mlabpos(0) legend(off) ysc(off)
