See the developers hanbook from the FreeBSD website:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/ 
Section III chapter 11. FreBSD is quite well documented once you know 
where to find the information - and most of it can be found in the 
FreeBSD website.

By the way did you only update the kernel, or did you do 
buildworld/installworld as well?
