One of the nicest features of the TFS SharePoint site (in my opinion) is the ability to display various reports on the portal's home page. We currently display a build report as well as a defect report. To do this, I've always used the default Page Viewer web part and manually set the URL to the desired report.
However, today I noticed a post from Jeff Atwood describing a different approach. He explains how to install the SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services web parts (which already exist on your TFS server - they just need to be setup).
There are two web parts that get installed - a Report Explorer and a Report Viewer. The Report Explorer lists each report in a tabular format whereas the Report Viewer gives you more control over how your report is ran and displayed.
Check out his post for more information.
