How do I get a Modern UI look and feel in a Silveright App?

It may sound obvious, but just replicate what you want and put it in! The tiles in Modern UI are just special data templates (easily used in Silverlight).

As far as the re-ordering and insertion animations (among others), those are part of the Modern UI framework and are not so easily replicated. If the source is out there, I'm not aware of where it is.

So the answer is, unfortunately, that you have to re-make anything you want from Modern UI.

This sample has the "tile" templates found in the Bing apps: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/XAML-ListView-and-GridView-6bd77f71
