The sf_node and sf_user modules are great.
What I would like to see (and what I'm going to have to build for a few upcoming projects) is a sf_taxonomy module.
In essence, I see this as tying a SalesForce picklist value set to a Drupal vocabulary.
The biggest hurdle, imho, is that SalesForce picklists are specific to single object types, where as Drupal vocabularies are site-wide.
Given that, will this idea even float?
What are peoples' thoughts about ways to work around this particular obstacle?
What are some other obstacles?
Is anyone interested in pitching in?

Taxonomy module
I'm not clear on exactly what you need to accomplish - is it in using those Salesforce picklists to organize content in some way in Drupal (creating views, for instance)? One option would be to have each SF picklist be a vocabulary.
Anyway, I'm interested in pitching in, for sure. We don't have a project at the moment that needs this, but we will likely later.

yes, more or less
right, the goal would be to keep the Drupal vocabularies in sync with the associated SF picklist.
For example, it would be nice to have SF Account->type be a Drupal vocab. Then if/when the SF picklist changes, or the Drupal vocab changes, each would be aware of the other.
This would have positive implications for search, views, etc...
