Possibly unrelated to what you are looking for, but Absolute FreeBSD - 2nd Ed. [1] is a good read. The book deals with basic management / implementation of FreeBSD (and focuses of 7.X).

If this is not what you're looking for, perhaps (in case I am guessing correctly on my second try) have a look at the FreeBSD Developers Handbook [2].

HTH.
