To get the code in your local workspace, you should download it from source into your local workspace. On the corresponding wiki page (http://www.ros.org/wiki/hector_geotiff), the source repository is listed as "svn https://tu-darmstadt-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/hector_slam". So you can use the following command to download it in your workspace:

svn checkout https://tu-darmstadt-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/hector_slam

You'll then need to make to do the following:

1. Add the package to your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH inside your ~/.bashrc
2. Get all the dependencies for this package. Since you have the system package directly installed as well, you can most likely skip this step.
3. Run "rosmake hector_geotiff"

You should be good to your workspace are. In case go then!
