Unlike linux, FreeBSD is an integrated OS. 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.
