Nope. You can go get the kernel source in a tarball. I've
done it once. I will probably do it again sometime. It's
not that hard, but you have to be careful to remove the old
symlink from your existing source tree to prevent it from
being overwritten (which is what happened to me.)
Try www.kernel.org.
