All of the ftp mirrors have it in the src directory of the release or
snapshot directory. This directory contains a shell script "install.sh".
Set the DESTDIR environment variable and run the shell script. The
source, as it existed for that snapshot or release, will be installed in
the directory specified by DESTDIR. If you want the source code for your
current system, have cvsup installed and want to install the source code
into /usr/src you can simply:
cvsup -h cvsup15.freebsd.org /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard*
