"sysctl kern.osreldate". It's not used by ports/ since 2014-09-30 (9576bda6137e).

If you want to build ports/ then /usr/include must exist, and kern.osreldate
must not be older than <sys/param.h> or <osreldate.h>. Otherwise, freshly
built binaries may not be able to run.

poudriere records kern.osreldate as "Host OSVERSION" and <sys/param.h> as
"Jail OSVERSION". For example, package cluster build logs often have "Host
OSVERSION" matching -CURRENT kernel around the time.
