Hmmm... well it depends a great deal on what you find interesting or
useful.  There are plenty of ports without a named maintainer -- try:

    % grep 'ports at freebsd.org' /usr/ports/INDEX | \
        perl -aln -F'\|' -e 'print $F[0];'

By my count that's about 88 unclaimed ports at the moment -- less than
1% -- which is pretty good.

Find one or more port that you like, and submit a PR claiming
maintainership -- preferably updating or improving the port at the
same time.

Otherwise, here's the announcement of something that could very
usefully have a place in the ports tree:
