Google for open source projects has appeared: Koders.com. Looks like they scoure open source repositories and let you search for code by keyword, language, or license.
But even more interesting is their "Build vs. Integrate Open Source" tool, which allows you to ballpark the cost to develop a given component yourself using some of your own cost metrics. For example, here's their assessment of the cost to duplicate the popular Hibernate project's functionality. Good stuff.
