well it really depends on what you mean by the TCP/IP sources.  one 
great place to start would be to visit www.freebsd.org.  from there this 
might be helpfull:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/anoncvs.html
this will explain how to check out freebsd source code.
you also might be interested in checking out www.openbsd.org or 
www.netbsd.org.  they have very similar setups.

now as far as porting the FreeBSD tcp/ip stack to gnu/linux i don't know 
where you would start to do this.  maybe someone else on the list knows 
of a port of the bsd tcp/ip to gnu/linux, maybe you can do this with 
netbsd's pkgsrc?
