I am wondering everyone's thoughts on a source repository or if someone could point me in the right direction regarding how to compile an application.
I know this has been asked before, so my apologies.
I am just wondering if its possible to xbps-src .... and recomplie the entire operating sytem. I'm having some issues with hardware sensors and have jumped though numerous loops to no avail. I would like to try to compile a kernel module or two and get them loaded to see if that helps.

Your question is a little vague.
- If you want to build existing packages from source xbps-src is the way
to go. For pointers on how to do that check the void-packages readme
<https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/blob/master/README.md>.
- If you want to create your own packages take a look at the manual
<https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/blob/master/Manual.md> on
github.
- To create packages for kernel modules you might want to take a look at
the existing DKMS-packages like broadcom-wl-dkms
<https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/tree/master/srcpkgs/broadcom-wl-dkms>
or zfs
<https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/tree/master/srcpkgs/zfs>.
I sincerely doubt that you will have to recompile the entire system though
:)

I thought so on the kernel modules.
I'll give those links a look, I'm trying to figure out how to come by the source from which a pre-existing binary package was compiled/packaged.
Not being in void very long, in apt/bed repositories it would have been a source repository and somepackage-version-src.deb ( or what have you for the extension ).
I haven't had time to experiment lately.

All sources are available in the void-packages repository and are used by
xbps-src, which is the
utility that compiles the code (if applicable) and generates the binary
packages required by xbps.
You can rebuild easily all your packages with xbps-src:
1- get a list of pkgs that were installed manually (not as dependencies):
xbps-query -m
2- build all pkgs set on that list with xbps-src: ./xbps-src -N pkg <pkg>
...
