Just get the tarball and unpack it. There's usually a mkfile in the base directory of the source tar, so just running 'mk' is usually sufficient. If there's a README, read it.
It's also worth noting that, in general, Plan 9 has it's own software, or it's own port of some software you may already be familiar with. If your intent is to compile someone else's software you had to compile for Linux or FreeBSD, you may be in for a challenge, depending on your choice. If this is the case, I would suggest starting here: http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Porting_alien_software_to_Plan_9/index.html -Jack
