You did not get src updated because you did not have it before.
Because there was no official announcement, I can give you a link (similar to
one for -RC2), from which you can get the sources src.txz:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/i386/9.1-RC3/
Be sure to check download's signature in MANIFEST file.
After that:
- make backup of anything you got in /usr/src, and remove that dir
  # rm -rf /usr/src
- unpack downloaded file locally into /usr/src dir (that destination dir is
  a default)
