There is none :-<

See the release notes for Fedora Core 3 for more details on why and how
to make sense of the .src.rpm, for example here:

I think the NVidia drivers will build with just the binary rpm, which
includes the kernel headers that external modules need to reference. But
I'm not sure. The location of the include tree is:
  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/
