You should use a pipe of cat and tar commands. There are install.sh
scripts, which know how to install files from the distribution.

if [ "$1" = "all" ]; then
dists="base bin contrib etc games gnu include lib libexec release sbin share sys tools ubin usbin"
else
dists="$*"
fi
echo "Extracting sources into ${DESTDIR}/usr/src..."
for i in $dists; do
echo " Extracting source component: $i"
cat s${i}.?? | tar --unlink -xpzf - -C ${DESTDIR}/usr/src
done
