You can use them as a base, though there's been a lot of kernel changes. 
The development has been too recent and too rapid to document in a big
way, but there are other resources:

http://www.dragonflybsd.org/cvsweb/ - source code
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/ - change details can be found here
#dragonflybsd on efnet - a number of developers can be found here
kernel at dragonflybsd.org mailing list - always a good place to ask questions
http://wiki.dragonflybsd.org/index.cgi/ProjectsPage - partial project
list, if you need a specific goal
