To get the Darwin source code, you’ll need to register with the Apple Open Source web site and check the source code out of the CVS archive. (The kernel source code weighs in at about 35 MB; after you compile the kernel, it will occupy about 150 MB.) To register for CVS access, visit http://developer.apple.com/darwin/tools/cvs/. That page should lead to a getting-started page, where you can register as a user.
The first step in registering is to agree to the Apple Public Source License (http://www.opensource.apple.com/apsl/). When you agree to that license, you can create a username and password that lets you check files out of CVS and view the web-based CVS archive.
