Then why not follow my suggestion of _letting_ freebsd-update
update the kernel, but _use_ a different one instead which it
won't touch? In /boot/loader.conf:

	kernel="mykernel"
	bootfile="/boot/mykernel/kernel"

Now freebsd-update can happily alter the default kernel without
affecting yours. Note that this implies that _you_ have to take
care of kernel changes and recompiling if needed.

I know, it's just a workaround and doesn't address the problem
directly, but it should get you away from any related trouble.
