For a solution which is easier but not as supported (i.e., it's something I'm providing personally, rather than something the FreeBSD Security Team provides and supports), you might like to try FreeBSD Update (http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update, or security/freebsd-update in the ports tree).
