For the basics, I'd suggest to have a look at the following
resources:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/

This should provide a good introduction on the toolchains and
workflow. Rquipped with this knowledge, you should have a good
starting point within FreeBSD development and contribution.

General overview on contribution possibilities:

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing/index.html

Furthermore, the FreeBSD source code is of high educational
value, so studying interesting parts of it is helpful.
