/disk/src, with /usr/src and /usr/local/src symlinked into it. :)  At least
that's what I do.  Of course, that's 'cos I've got a separate disk for
source (I tend to keep a lot of source trees kicking around).

/usr/src seems to be the generally accepted one though.

Somebody else mentioned that you should just build up source in your home
directory.  One situation where this is a _bad_ thing:  if your home
directory is NFS mounted.  You'll suddenly watch a 4-minute compile turn
into a 15-minute compile...
