Very Computer

Hello
I am interested in an apparently BSD only utility called msgs.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be very clear instructions on how to
extract just the source tree so that I can get access to msgs.  Coming
from Linuxland where I already know how to get access to these sorts of
things, I was hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right
direction so that I could do the same thing with FreeBSD sources.  Since
msgs seems to be part of the operating system package and not a separate
package is there any way to extract it so that I could compile it
myself.  Is there any way to merely extract the source for FreeBSD
without installing the entire operating system?  I apologize for asking
these questions as I really didn't find any answer to them on the
FreeBSD web sites and looking at the distributions only confused me
further.  Thank you for your assistance.
