There are two places to look:

1) The idea list, small and big ideas, there is a long list of
    projects for the kernel. see

   http://www.freebsd.org/projects/ideas/

2) Problem Reports: PR's with status "s" suspended are remarked as:

    "The problem is not being worked on, due to lack of information or
    resources. This is a prime candidate for somebody who is looking
    for a project to do. If the problem cannot be solved at all, it
    will be closed, rather than suspended."

    Of course, you can always take a look at an open PR.
