I often give a psd as a courtesy to my clients who order reference sheets so they can update the design as needed, but I still prefer people just ask me to make edits for the sake of consistency. I would say most people prefer to keep those files to themselves though, especially because the artistic methods of two different people are likely to clash, and that is their right as the artist. That isn't something I generally do either unless requested though, or if I know I'm working with someone who has trouble settling on a design, and thus far I've never had a psd requested for anything other than refs or design commissions (that I can remember). It doesn't hurt to ask for a source file, just bear in mind that the artist can and may say no.
