a bunch of non-native stuff that came in from RSX-11 and ran

I would have answered the question with BLISS-32 and MACRO (both -32
and -11 were used in V1.x of VMS, IIRC).
So depending on the scope of the original question, most utility
programs were still in MACRO-11 well into V3? (at least V2; my memory
is hazy) of VMS.
Regarding source access, I once had access to a magtape with the
source files, in source form. Very useful when writing/debugging
device drivers and other kernel mode and elevated IPL code.
