The binary upgrade path from 10.x to 11.0 will consist of installing the
pkg's for 11.0, not by use of freebsd-update.

If you're installing from source, you now get some extra steps in the
compilation process: 'make packages' creates not just the set of
packages but builds a local repository, and you then use 'pkg install'
to deploy the packages from that repository.
