Hi Eric
It's a really good question. You can start by looking at the coverage data (gcov.php.net) which tells you what lines are covered. This gives *some indication* of what might not be well enough tested. Anything less than 80% covered is probably missing tests.
If you look at the coverage and see something that you'd like to work on - then probably the next thing is to find out what tests exist for it already (they are all in the source tree) and look at the docs to see what functions don't have specific tests.
Mac is quite a useful platform to work on - another thing you might be interested in looking at is existing test failures on Mac? Last time I looked (six months ago) there were quite a few :-(
Hope this helps,
Zoe
