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.
