nmcli sources live in NetworkManager git alongside NM itself:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/cli

So you can get them if you check NM out.  At the moment they don't build
well standalone, but you can ./configure the NM sources and then just

cd cli
make

and you'll come out with cli/src/nmcli or cli/src/.libs/nmcli which
shoudl be more or less usable with recent versions of NM.
