You can update both using cvsup, once you've installed the cvsup client, 
and decided what to checkout(sync), you can use the examples in 
/usr/share/examples/cvsup to sync exactly what you want.

ie; for just syncing your source, you might want to use:

*default host=cvsup.uk.freebsd.org (or a closer mirror)
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=$TAG (where $tag is RELENG_6 for 6.x 
-STABLE/RELENG_6_2 for 6.2+Security/. for -CURRENT)
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress

src-all
