Thanks for the idea.
Here is my version (uses the "modern" advice):

(when (eq system-type 'darwin)
  (defun sds-ns-find-in-source (f &rest args)
    "Find lisp objects in sources and not installation."
    (let* ((value (apply f args))
           (nfile (and value
                       (string-match "/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/" 
value)
                       (concat source-directory (substring value (match-end 
0))))))
      (if (and nfile (file-exists-p nfile))
          nfile value)))
  (advice-add 'find-lisp-object-file-name :around 'sds-ns-find-in-source))
