The suppliers I have found are either common or Philips heads. I will give Noah's a call. Their site doesn't list (or I didn't see them) Silicone Bronze screws at all but possibly they do carry them.

Aha... I found my bookmark link to another supplier:

http://www.tendercraftboats.com/fasteners.html

    F15: Brass and Silicone Bronze Wood Screws
    Tapered wood screws with a “Robertson” or “Square” head. Tapered shanks make the screws easier to work with, back out and re-use and the “Robertson” head is popular with boat builders as it provides a more solid drive than does a slot or Phillips drive. Brass is surprisingly strong but is a soft metal requiring a pilot hole and provides traditional, classic look. Silicone bronze is often the material of choice for boatbuilding as it takes on nice complimentary look to cedar and other woods and provide excellent corrosion resistance. See Item F15 in the price sheet for available lengths

Yep.. I used boatcraft as well for robertson bronze screws. They are located in Edmonton, Alberta, but shipping is pretty cheap for screws.

Thanks for the info Rick! I looked at their website and didn't see any silicon bronze there...but will call them! Gotta be cheaper than shipping from Toronto!
