freebsd-update will update the kernel sources on the condition that
the Components setting is configured correctly in freebsd-update.conf.
Normally you'd use:

Components src world kernel

Then after a successful update, if you're not using the GENERIC
kernel, you should rebuild the kernel with your custom settings.
After the new kernel is installed you should reboot the machine.
