Assuming you're talking about running 11-STABLE, then yes, a normal makeworld cycle will get you upgraded to 11.0 -- plus all the extra bits needed for a major version upgrade, like reinstalling all your ports so they link against the new shlibs in the updated system. If you want to run 11.0-RELEASE, once it comes out, you can use freebsd-update(8) to upgrade to it. Packaged base is coming, but it's not going to be in place for 11.0-RELEASE. Current plans are it will go live with 11.1-RELEASE, and there will be detailed instructions on how to manage the 11.0-RELEASE (freebsd-update) to 11.1-RELEASE (PkgBase) transition at that time. If you'ld like to help testing and developing base packages, subscribe to the freebsd-pkgbase@freebsd.org mailing list and start by following the instructions at https://wiki.freebsd.org/PkgBase At the moment though, all the PkgBase stuff is entirely voluntary -- you can choose to opt in if you want. There's no expectation that 11.0 systems will have base system packages registered, and you can manage an 11.0 system exactly as you have previously been managing earlier system versions.
