See here:

The radio modules can be obtained quite cheaply, approx GBP15 to 20, but
you'll need to mount them on something to provide power and the interface to a
PC.  Jennic also provide the radio modules in an evaluation kit, but they are
back at the GBP 400 mark.

The modules:
http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/browse.jsp?N=500006+1004100&Ntk=gensearch_001&Ntt=jennic&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial
The evaluation kit:
http://uk.farnell.com/jennic/jn5148-ek010/kit-eval-zigbee-pro-jn5148/dp/1739333

To make a working sniffer from a module you need the module, a 3.3V power
supply and a USB to 3.3V serial interface.

For some experiments (mainly Radio Control) with the modules see:
