You can find the source tarball matching the release on the pcbsd dvd.
It is located at dist/src.txz on the disc

I think pcbsd uses releng for it's main release discs so from freebsd
svn you would want

svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/10.1

The pcbsd official repo can be found at
https://github.com/pcbsd/pcbsd
but it is only the custom pcbsd components and build scripts not the
kernel or world source from the freebsd source tree.
