I for one would be interested in this project.

I'd say if your code is written according to these principles,
it has a very good chance of getting incorporated:

 - Cleanly formatted according to style(9)
 - Well documented
 - Orthogonal: if "options IPSEC" is not specified, then no extra
   garbage is included in a "normal" kernel. Minimal changes to
   existing files.
 - Works :-)
 - Written in such a way as to be easily understood and maintainable
   by a geographically (and otherwise) diverse crowd of FreeBSD hackers :-)
