What I personally do is go to the web page that has all of the sources
for a particular OS version. If you start at the root of that web page
(http://www.opensource.apple.com) and select the 10.6.7 release, you
will find that the version of IOPCIFamily you want is 115.
If you're curious about the version numbered "2.6", you can check that
in Info.plist file in the package (I guess in this case, it is named
"Info-IOPCIFamily.plist"). In that version the CFBundleShortVersionString
is 2.6.1 (Huh, I'm surprised that it shows up just as 2.6 for you; on
my copy of 10.6.8 it shows 2.6.5).
