In addition to the good advice about looking for a Google Summer of Code 
position, I'd also suggest contacting the FreeBSD Foundation.

On the other hand, the FreeBSD project itself doesn't employ people, but 
many of the people that contribute to FreeBSD are employed by third 
party companies to work on FreeBSD related development.  If you would 
like to seek an opportunity in that area, then perhaps your best 
strategy would be to become active in the community -- a track record of 
bug reports and patches will speak volumes to a potential employer.
