Use your original installation CD to restore to its original contents.
Or use cvsup to automatically download the missing files and
directories. Would be easiest to use cvsup to bring your sources up to a
current release.

Same as one would do to restore /usr/src from CD, one can get a fresh
copy of the tarballs from one of the FreeBSD mirrors. For 6.2 download
all of:

/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/6.2-RELEASE/src

Then simply untar them into /usr/src.
