Arghh, no it did not, it just caught me in a very busy period and then
I, ahem, forgot to go back to it. Sorry.

All the source packages are available here:
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/fedora/linux/planetcore/12/SRPMS/
(for Fedora 12, replace 12 with the # of the distro you want)

I'm applying the rt patches from here:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/

(maintained by a lot of people, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, etc, etc).
The builds follow the configuration and extra patches (as much as
possible) of the Fedora builds. The information on which patches exactly
and which Fedora release is contained in the spec file of the source
package.

It is all in the .src.rpm. 
What are you trying to accomplish?
