Start with /usr/src/linux. Joining (and searching) the linuxppc-dev mailing
list is probably a good idea too.
I should note that adding sleep support is a kernel thing, and user space Unix
knowledge will likely be of very little use. Operating systems programming
experience otoh would be extremely useful.
If you mean "any project at all" (not just "sleep on iBook"), generally you
grab some source, hop on a mailing list, and start coding and chatting (code
is always more appreciated than chatting of course ;).
Good luck...
