The daemon book and newvm are good for 4.4BSD, but FreeBSD uses a different system based on the Mach paging internals. Any papers on Mach should suffice. Besides that, unless John's written a paper on it and hasn't told us, the best I can suggest there is to UTSL. (I may be able to dig up a small file giving an overview of the entry points to the VM system if you need it.)
