Can a man receive woman reproductive organs transplant?

No, it has never been done yet. I would not be surprised if somewhere someone is working on it though. A few problems: 1) The female reproductive system AS A WHOLE is highly interwoven and involves a lot of blood connections. If any part of such a transplant failed, the system would not operate. 2) The anti-rejection chemcals needed to prevent complete destruction of these organs, once transplanted, tend to counteract the hormones they produce. Ovulation would simply not occur. 3) Even in animal tests, even when trying to transplant just the uterus (the absolute bare minimum for pregnancy), the transplanted uterus survives just long enough for one pregnancy. 4) Male pelvises are not properly designed for pregnancy and delivery. If someone with a male skeletal structure and a fully functional uterus began a pregnancy, the child would need to be delivered by caesarean section. At present there is no proven, economically feasible means for a human male to receive even a uterus in a transplant. However, medical research is on-going.

How do you get on a list to receive an organ transplant?

You have a "transplant assessment" at a transplant hospital. It usually involves ultrasounds, blood tests, MRI's, EEG's, ECG's, psychological assessments and a chest x-ray.
