I can't get the exact file permissions from the get-file requests -- it only lets me know which ones are executable.  Setting executables to 0755 and non-executables to 0644 would work for all files in my copy of /usr/src except for /usr/src/usr.bin/lex/mkskel.sh (0744) and /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/tkpkg (0754).  Since they're both executable for root, unless there's an issue, we could probably let it slide and assign them 0755 permissions.

Hey Jonn, this news is better than my Monday AM coffee.

Once you have something working, however crudely, I'd love to link/post/reference it on the growing wiki page- so folks can give it a whirl.
https://wiki.freebsd.org/UsersFetchingSource

(If this project succeeds, it will neatly get rid of the purpose of the page!)

Thanks-
