Eternity is the aspect of the chronal axis and represents all that is along it. He is not the equivalent of the Source.The Source was said to be DC's Big Bang, the Source of all life, energy and matter within DC. That is not what Eternity is in Marvel.
A more fitting equivalent would be Marvels sentient Big Bang, the Phoenix Force, which is the sum and substance of all that lives, the power source behind the stars by canon.
In support of this, in the DC/Marvel Titans/Uncanny X-men crossover, Dark Phoenix, the dark manifestation of the Phoenix Force was reconstituted from memories the X-men had of Jean Grey and a portion of the Source.

Personally I have trouble calling Starlin's Source and Kirby's Source the same entity.
