-  Install the subversion port

-  Downlaod the source.  To get HEAD code:

   svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/

   or to get 9-stable code:

   svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9

  (If you want to check it out into a different directory, append the dir 
   name,  for example: "svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/ src")

-  Make your changes :)

-  To get a diff of your changes, you can just use "svn diff"
