Off the top of my head, the Cyanogen mod I had on my Nexus One had the following features that were not natively in Android:
1. FM radio
2. Theme support
3. Lockscreen gestures
4. Programmable behavior to hardware buttons
5. LED notifications (LED trackball blinked different colors depending on what application had a notification)
6. Display battery life in percents (one of my favorites)
7. Significantly improved battery life and performance.
There's quite a bit of other stuff that I can't remember, and there are of course dozens of other mods with other features, although Cyanogen mods are the most well known.
