Apart from the links Sam gave you, I'd suggest you look at "The Design
and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System" by Kirk McKusick
and George Neville-Neil.

As a general introduction, you might like to look through "The Complete
FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey (http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/).

Yes.  The internal kernel interfaces are defined in the section 9 man pages.
