Kernel headers are in subdirectories of /usr/src, one subdirectory for each kernel version.
If you are running kernel 2.4.18-686 (for example), you need the kernel-headers-2.4.18-686 package. I don't know if installing the package gives you a tarball (which you must then expand) or a directory of files.
The idea of headers is to take the place of the full source tree, for people who don't intend to compile the kernel itself. Headers supply information about the way the kernel was compiled, which is used to compile some other things, for example modem driver modules.
