Apparently, the release ctm's were never made.
What you really need is the "src-2.2.0700xEmpty.gz" delta so that you'll
only need to apply 43 instead of 143 delta's to be upto date with
2.2.6-STABLE. But, unfortunately you'll have to grab the
src-2.2.0600xEmpty.gz plus src-2.2.[0601-0743+].gz and apply all of them in
order to bring your system up to 2.2.6-STABLE.
After, you have all of those delta's, copy your kernel file
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL to a safe location (/root,
/home/{myhomedir}). Then rm -r /usr/src.
Then extract src-2.2.0600xEmpty.gz and the other delta's with the ctm
utility.
cd /usr/src
ctm -v -v <path to delta's>/src-2.2.*.gz
