It seems like it's broken at the time. Yes you could start with a the kernel 
source tar ball. 
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/longterm/v2.6.27/linux-2.6.27.61.tar.bz2

You'd probably need to turn that into a mercurial repository by creating a new 
repo and committing all the code and the apply the patch queue on top of that.
