Use 'which foo' to get the directory.  Typically you can rely on the
following map:

/bin -> /usr/src/bin
/sbin -> /usr/src/sbin
/usr/bin -> /usr/src/usr.bin
/usr/sbin -> /usr/src/usr.sbin

Sometimes if they are contributed software then the source code would be
under /usr/src/contrib, /usr/src/crypto, etc.

Nope.
