Some (but unfortunately not all) kernel functions and structures are described in section 9 of the manual. Look at intro(9) for a start. There's also a tutorial at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ddwg/ddwg.html. But you'll find that you'll have to read a lot of other driver code before you get your driver finished.
