Here is the tar file, yes, that is available without registration:
http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/darwin/6.0/source/other/gcc3-1151.tar.gz

Thanks,
so there is no problem in republishing the sources directly under the
gpl?


btw: 
http://introspector.sourceforge.net/2003/01/28/rtl.i/apple-gcc-rtl.gz
contains a 800k tar of the modified apple gcc sources in RDF format via
the introspector.
