Since I've had no further instruction or advice here (or on -questions), 
I've solved it myself for now.

I'm doing something similar, the difference being I'm introducing a 
simple script rather than patching a file which might be changed in an 
update:

$ sudo crontab -l
0 3 * * * /usr/local/scripts/freebsd-update-cron

$ cat freebsd-update-cron
#!/bin/sh
mv /boot/kernel/linker.hints /boot/kernel/linker.hints.bk
/usr/sbin/freebsd-update cron
mv /boot/kernel/linker.hints.bk /boot/kernel/linker.hints
