     As somebody else mentioned, the tag is wrong and you need
src/sys.  However, if you want to build a kernel, this isn't enough.
The best thing would be to grab:

ftp://pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-5.0.2/source/sets/syssrc.tgz

Then unpack it with 'tar xvzpf syssrc.tgz -C /'.  This will unpack it
to the correct location and get you everything you need.  Note that the
tarball contains CVS directories with the correct tags, so if you want
to update it, you can do so with 'cvs update'.
