If you have the install CD, you can even extract the sources from
there.
I don't recollect the exact location (am in office, don't have a CD with
me) but its in a directory named "src" and has many files in it. These
files are split archives of the original /usr/src tree. There's also a
shell script called ''install.sh'' which can be run to combine all these
files and extract to a specific location.
By default the extracted to location is $DESTDIR/usr/src. Since you want
to install to /usr/src, set $DESTDIR to /.
So in effect, the following commands should extract the sources to
/usr/src for you. (I assume you've inserted the FreeBSD and its mounted at
some path).
# cd /path/on/cd/where/sources/are
# DESTDIR=/ ./install.sh all
Hope that helps.
