/usr/src/UPDATING should at least give you a hint.

These are in fact 5.0-current sources. Hope you've had fun on the 
bleeding edge. ;) Change the first *default tag=. line to read 
*default tag=RELENG_4 and you'll get 4.X-stable sources, where X is 
always the latest number out. Don't change the other tag, ports and 
doc need to get current versions as there are no other versions. IF 
you want 4.5-release and not -stable, make it RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE.
