You can install the kernel source rpm, edit the spec file like this:
@@ -55,7 +55,7 @@
%ifarch noarch
 %define builddoc 1
-%define buildsource 0
+%define buildsource 1
 %define buildup 0
 %define buildsmp 0
 %define all_arch_configs $RPM_SOURCE_DIR/kernel-%{kversion}*.config

And build the kernel-sourcecode rpm with:
rpmbuild -bb --target noarch kernel-2.6.spec
