Unix in a Nutshell:

http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596100292/

Learning the Unix Operating System

http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596002619/

Absolute FreeBSD

http://nostarch.com/abs_bsd2.htm

None of these are going to match DragonFly exactly, but they will get
you started.  The Absolute FreeBSD book is probably the closest match,
and an enjoyable read.
