Read the Makefile in /usr/src, and UPDATING in /usr/src as well.

What you will want to do is track the security branch, and subscribe to the 
security list to get any reports of issues.  If an issue arises, you can 
choose to cvsup and rebuild, or not.  If the issue is not in a subsystem 
you use, you can ignore it.
