You can run sysinstall without doing an install.
If you really want to extract the source directly with tar, it's been
explained on this list a number of times over the years.

Or get more up-to-date sources by cvsup, as someone else suggested.

Shall we go on?  There are more possibilities, albeit less generally
useful.
