If you have the install CD, you can even extract the sources from 
there.

I don't recollect the exact location (am in office, don't have a CD with 
me) but its in a directory named "src" and has many files in it. These 
files are split archives of the original /usr/src tree. There's also a 
shell script called ''install.sh'' which can be run to combine all these 
files and extract to a specific location.

By default the extracted to location is $DESTDIR/usr/src. Since you want 
to install to /usr/src, set $DESTDIR to /.

So in effect, the following commands should extract the sources to 
/usr/src for you. (I assume you've inserted the FreeBSD and its mounted at 
some path).

# cd /path/on/cd/where/sources/are
# DESTDIR=/ ./install.sh all

Hope that helps.
