What do you mirror with CVSup?
The source (foo.c) or the CVS repository (foo.c,v)?
Possibly you just mirror the latest sources,,

Only if you mirror the CVS repository.
But you probably don't.

This depends on your present FreeBSD version.
Occasionally dramatic changes happen (like /dev/sd* -> /dev/da*)
if you monitor volatile stuff like -CURRENT. :)
However there is a src/UPDATING file that should be read.
With a fairly modern FreeBSD indeed I would suggest
make buildworld
(drop to single user mode)
make installworld
(build new kernel)
reboot
Better keep boot and fixit disks ready, if you never did
this. Then backup and keep old kernels around.

Marc
