You can't upgrade the kernel without also upgrading the userland. As for setting up cvsup, there's really nothing to setup, you should already have the src directory, and the cvsup port is really easy to install. There are complete docs available at www.freebsd.org. Do yourself a big favor and save yourself a lot of grief, if you need to upgrade do it properly.
