DragonFly BSD does this. They call it process checkpointing.

Processes under DragonFly may be "checkpointed" or suspended to disk at any time. They may later be resumed on the originating system, or another system by "thawing" them.

OpenBSD and FreeBSD call it suspend/resume I think:

Those links are talking about suspend/resume of the computer, which is a totally different thing.
