If it was me I would start there, cvsup to RELENG_22 and take a crack at it. I'd love to port to some architecture other that x86, but I first have to get a decent architecture to port to(not saying that sparc isn't I just haven't really looked into them). I'd actually like to design my own architecture by the time I get out of school, at which point I'll probably want to port some version of UNIX to it just for development purposes if nothing else. Something interesting to do would be to design a virtual machine on an x86 freebsd machine, obviously a C compiler also then port to that virtual machine. In fact I think I'll do this!
