Take a look at 'freebsd-update' in the ports dir (Category security).

And here for some explanation and arguments: 
http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/binup.html

You have to do the 1st update from a RELEASE.
If you make custom kernels or 'make world', this may not be for you. 
Only updates for the GENERIC kernel are supported (but you could use 
kernel modules for additional functionality and still use freebsd-update).
