Yes.  If you have source code installed (for the right version of FreeBSD)
in /usr/src, then freebsd-update will keep it updated.

(Slight complication: Because freebsd-update builds are normally done before
patches are committed to SVN, you won't get the updated SVN revision numbers
or the new entries in UPDATING via freebsd-update -- but you will get all of
the security/errata fixes.)
