Depends on what kernel files you are looking for.
There are also kernel related files in the /boot path.

The 'kernel' itself (the actual booted binary) will be stored in /boot generaly, but is of little use unless you plan to copy it as a backup
the /usr/src/linux will contain the sources/headers for the current Kernel you are running, these files can be manipulated, and this directory is the one that you would
make menu_config && make install
if you were to be compiling on your own.

and actualy the kernel sources are in /usr/src then there is a symlink from the current sources to /usr/src/linux
