you may cvsup the usr.bin and then issue (I guess)
make all install
or if you are using RELEASE instead of STABLE version...
you may use /stand/sysinstall utility and select `configure`
and from there `distributions` there you may install the sources
of usr.bin and then issue the command
make all install
but instead
I think you may use the upgrade option in /stand/sysinstall
and upgrade to the same version that you are using, though
it would not be an upgrade but it would install all the binaries
again over old ones so you will have a fresh system.
well another solution might be installing the same version
FreeBSD to an empty disk and getting the lost files from the 
new installed disk by ftp and put to the same places with 
same user.owner ids and mode...

I hope these would help you
you may reply for additional information...
