You can always get source code...this is FreeBSD!

Sounds like you want the C libraries.  Source code for these is in the 
slib distribution, which can be found (for example) at:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/3.2-RELEASE/src/

You can also grab it via sysinstall by installing the "lib"
sub-component of the sources.

A lot of the socket calls are just system calls though, so much of the 
interesting stuff happens in the kernel.  I tried browsing the sources 
in the WebCVS repository to find the syscall stubs but I couldn't find 
it in a quick 60-second perusal.  If you want to browse that:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib
