You might want to evaluate if this project is possible given your
experiance and available time. To me it sounds like a lot of work and
it's not going to be easy.
Anyway:
http://www.freebsd.org/
The FreeBSD sources can be downloaded from
http://www.freebsd.org/support.html#cvs
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2003/10/13/0010.html
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2001/04/19/Big_Scary_Daemons.html
http://kerneltrap.org/node/4383
Im sure with a bit of googling you will find more....
