The files under /pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.7-RELEASE are in exactly the same format as they are distributed on the official FreeBSD CD-ROMs. The "whacky format" is a .tar.gz file that has been split in pieces with split(1). As I have explained in another reply of mine, the install.sh script that can be found in the src/ subdirectory will do the proper magic and install the sources under /usr/src for you if you run it as root.
