You don't need the entire thing, but the src/ssys dist is key for configuring your system optimally. It's not that big, and is worth it's weight in gold. If you really don't want to, you can copy /kernel.GENERIC over /kernel. Note that you'll need to chflags nouchg before you'll be able to copy over /kernel.
