I'll assume you mean free :-)

You can take a look at OpenBSD's isakmpd (written in C), which comes
with a BSD license. My strong suspicion is that many "proprietary"
devices out there use this code as a basis for their implementations.

There are also the BSD licensed Kame (http://www.kame.net) and the GPL'd
FreeS/Wan non-RFC-compliant implementation (http://www.freeswan.org) to
look at.  Just take a peek at the source yourself:

OpenBSD isakmpd: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sbin/isakmpd/
Kame racoon: http://orange.kame.net/dev/cvsweb.cgi/kame/kame/kame/racoon/
FreeS/Wan: ftp://ftp.xs4all.nl/pub/crypto/freeswan/
