If you are internet connected simply type a make and the source
will automagically appear :-). 
The Makefiles under ports/... contains descriptors for the original
sources on the net. You will also find most of the sources on the
FreeBSD Master sites under the ports/distfiles/ directory, if you 
can't get them from an anonymous ftp site nearer to you.
