FreeBSD's is a fork that appear to get synced with each of our releases, so it hasn't diverged much. It's in 
contrib/tcpdump, as with other "contributed" software.

NetBSD's is imported (into CVS) from our releases by a script. I'm not sure what changes they've made and where they 
are kept in the source tree. It's in external/bsd/tcpdump.

OpenBSD's was forked a while ago and they're maintaining it themselves; I think they've picked up some changes from us.

DragonFly BSD is similar to FreeBSD's (not surprisingly, as DragonFly BSD was originally a fork of FreeBSD). It's also 
in contrib/tcpdump.
