Yes, the URL is correct.
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/src-oss/ is OK, too,
it just uses different type of metadata (yast type, instead of rpmmd
type) this way.

Zypper only installs binary rpms this way (zypper in foo.i586.rpm; maybe
zypper in foo.src.rpm will work, i'm not sure). The source-install
command does not expect rpm files as argument. Try 'zypper si antlr',
and 'zypper se -t srcpackage' to list available source packages.
