Which version are you on?
I can recall that in earlier versions, it was something quite obvious in the Library. It was certainly easy to do a quick statistical check, but then Adobe moved to the much more comprehensive metadata filter system. It is great, but almost too detailed for most of us humble users, I suspect.
Now (version 2.5 and beta 3.0)I would be tempted to filter by metadata and create collections from each attribute that you want - in this case focal length. I am not sure this is THE way, or even the BEST way to do it, but it would just be the way I would set it up.

And I have just realised I may be at cross purposes, here.
Do you mean: focal length of the lens used (which is the "Lens" attribute) or do you mean, for zoom lenses, the actual focal length of the particular shot?
(I only own two zooms, so I rarely think on the smae plane as many others because I tend to think in terms of focal length and prime lenses.)

In library mode, scroll down in the quick develop box to metadata, and next to "lens" you'll find a box with an arrow in it, when you put your cursor over it it says " show all photos taken with this lens".
Unfortunatly there isn't said box next to the "Focal length" one.
Hope this helps.
Edit, I'm on version 1

More research and all I can find is: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php...
There's Focal Length Finder and ImageReporter. I've not used either so have no idea whether they do what you want but the descriptions indicate they both do. I'd be a bit wary about the former as it appears to write data to your library - anything could happen! The latter looks like it just produces a report.

Plus - if you import a quite sizeable library (someone had to try it), the sort which takes hours to load - the beta WILL crash on you when you go to process about the third image
