I am pretty sure you will not have problems finding a mentor. That said, let me point out an old thread: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2008-May/042565.html I think the biggest problem is that you will have to get acquainted with FreeBSD's Virtual Memory which is different from NetBSD's. In that same thread you will find some comments by Matt Dillon (no idea how up to date those are). It will not be an easy task but people find such challenges very rewarding. Pedro.
