You mean like:

% src ypserv
/usr/src/usr.sbin/ypserv
%

The script that does this, src, I wrote myself. You can get it from
http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org near the top of the page.

It is written assuming that the source is installed on the local HD
which it seems you haven't done, but if you just edit the line

source=/usr/src

to the equivalent path on your mounted CD it should work.
