The problem is that the set of natural numbers is countable and so does not have a uniformly distributed measure on it.
That said, the density of a set is often a good alternative. If A is a set, consider the ratio #{x\in A: x<=n} / n as n-->infinity.
While the limit doesn't always exist, this has some of the properties we expect from probabilities.
