So far as I know, that is indeed where the code currently sits.
Most recent patch/update was Aug 2010
  ObjectDist.c   Torsion bug fixed
To download the code, type
  svn co https://pymol.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pymol pymol

There are both source and binary rpms in the Mandriva repositories:

This is quite nice, as it stays in sync with system updates and so on.
I don't know about Fedora or OpenSUSE.

The LICENSE file for the code on SourceForge is very permissive:
