The distribution files are split into 240k chunks. All you have to do is
cat them together and pipe them through tar.
For instance, the kernel sources are in ${FREEBSD-ROOT}/src/ssys.* on your
favorite FTP site or /dists/src/ssys.* on the CDROM.
Just grab all the files, cd to /usr/src, and run:
cat /path/ssys.* | tar xzf -
