The problem there is actually that it's unclear about what constitues a
"part".  In short the parts in question are src, doc, www, and ports
(of which you can only update pieces, say only English and your native
language if not English).  Personaly there's nothing at all complicated
about using the cvsup files in /usr/shared/examples/cvsup so I always
use those.

That's the right section of the handbook, though the make world section
isn't really very current.

Once you update all of /usr/src you can and are expected to read
/usr/src/UPDATING which lists the commands you should execute to upgrade
your world and kernel.
