Are there any free actions that provoke attacks of opportunity?

I'd like to provoke and use up my opponents AoO, have the advantage in dodging it due to mobility and high AC, and then still make my full attack...

Suggestions?

You could skip your last attack to make an unarmed strike, but really if you want to provoke an AoO the DM should just let you.

Yes. According to the Rules Compendium, standing up from prone as a free action (DC 35 tumble check) still provokes an AoO.

Dropping Prone is a free action, no AoO. So if you could consistently hit a DC 35 tumble check, you could drop/stand several times in a row to attract AoOs.

Note: you'll want to pick up the Sloth domain (via Cleric dip or Planar Touchstone), which has the domain power: no AC penalty while prone.
