Ignore Graham, he's talking about something completely different.

The freebsd-update tool will only update what's already there.  If you
installed the source tree when you originally installed the machine, or
added it later, then freebsd-update will keep it up-to-date.  Otherwise,
it will ignore source changes and only install binary patches.  The same
goes for other components, e.g. lib32 if you don't need it, or even the
kernel if you use freebsd-update to maintain a jail, which doesn't need
to have a kernel installed; freebsd-update will update what's there and
ignore what isn't.

If you're unsure about your source tree, `rm -rf /usr/src`, download
src.txz for whichever version you have installed and unpack it in the
correct location, then re-run `freebsd-update fetch install` to apply
patches (this may be a good idea regardless as known bugs in older
versions of freebsd-update may have resulted in a distorted source
tree).

Either way, you can safely use the default /etc/freebsd-update.conf.
The only consequence if the configuration specifies a component which is
not present on your system is a harmless warning message.
