I think the files available from the kernel binary package should be
enough, the headers would be in:
  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/

The existing Planet CCRMA kernels don't have a matching -devel package,
at the time I built them there were no -devel packages. The latest
package I'm working on do have them. 

If you really need the full source tree then you need to unpack and
properly configure the .src.rpm that corresponds to the kernel you are
running. Source packages are available from:

http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/all/linux/SRPMS/

Get the one that corresponds to the kernel you have and follow the
instructions about kernel source in the fc3 release notes:
