You can sync your /usr/src with the time of RC2's release by extracting and build that specific version from CVS, but you'll want to track subsequent patches as well, right? RELENG_6 just builds with a -RC tag for now due to the version bump. It will revert to -STABLE once the -RELEASE is out, but built and installed from source you don't get the -RELEASE or -RC<number> tag unless you actually build a release (a la: cd /usr/src/release; make release BUILDNAME=? RELEASE=? CVSROOT=?), specify that as a tag and then do a binary upgrade.
