The contrib/ subtree contains various additional modules and
libraries, such as
amd/ expat/ less/ ngatm/ smbfs/
bc/ file/ libbegemot/ ntp/ tcp_wrappers/
bind9/ gcc/ libf2c/ nvi/ tcpdump/
binutils/ gcclibs/ libobjc/ one-true-awk/ tcsh/
bsnmp/ gdb/ libpcap/ openbsm/ telnet/
bzip2/ gdtoa/ libreadline/ openpam/ texinfo/
com_err/ gnu-sort/ libstdc++/ opie/ top/
cpio/ gperf/ lukemftp/ pam_modules/ traceroute/
csup/ groff/ lukemftpd/ pf/ wpa_supplicant/
cvs/ hostapd/ ncurses/ pnpinfo/
diff/ ipfilter/ netcat/ sendmail/
This is from a FreeBSD 7 installation. In 5.2, there is surely
less stuff included. :-)
Depending on what you want to do with "accessing the source code",
it may be valid to say that you can leave out scontrib, but as
far as I remember, it will be needed for building things from the
source code (make vuildworld and buildkernel).
