I assume you mean with src address hiding that the packet going from
tunnel_end_1 to tunnel_end_2 does not carry the src address of the original
packet. This is sometimes absolutely necessary in order to have a tunnel
since the original src address might get filtered sometime in between.
Say if you'd route a couple of ips over the tunnel, packets coming with
a src address of those ips will probably be filtered by a third party and
will thus never reach the other end of the tunnel.
I made a patch for that some longer time ago, it's in the patch for
skip in the freebsd ports collection. Or you can get it seperately from
ftp.r4k.net/pub/skip/.

Just read the docs that come with skip and some stuff in the mailinglist
archive.
