Actually that install.sh script looks like it is probably the script from the install CD used for installing the source tree via sysinstall.

If you look at pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/7.0-RELEASE, you are basically browsing what is on the ISO images for 7.0-RELEASE.

In the end you just get what you would get if you downloaded the relevant parts of the source tree, which you might already have -> you didn't say.
