I've been using VSS with VFP for some time and I love it! :) There are a few quirks, but once you know them, it's easy to get around them.

First, as Neil ans Mike said, you have all you need "in the box". The main gotcha I think is with VCX. If the VCX is still in memory when you try to "Get latest version", or "check in" or "check out", Fox will complain about beeing unable to work with an open file. Just CLEAR ALL and RELEASE ALL before checking in/out/get latest version will prevent the problem from happening.

Also, using VSS administrator, make sure you allow multiple checkouts of text files before the first user joins the project.

You also need to check out, or get latest version (advanced: make writable) just to open up a menu in design mode, since VFP refuses to open a menu that is read-only.

Other than that I don't recall having stumbled upon other problems.
