newvers.sh generates /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/$KERNEL/vers{ion,.c} during
buildkernel.
Prior to running "make -D NO_CLEAN buildworld buildkernel" I always
run "rm /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/$KERNEL/vers*" thus forcing these files
to be regenerated with the correct information.
If you want to keep the build count stored in the
/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/$KERNEL/version file, just run
"rm /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/$KERNEL/vers.?".

There was a thread about it last october. I c&p part of my answer here:
--
>From uname and uname(3) man pages,
"An environment variable composed of the string UNAME_ followed by any
flag to the uname utility (except for -a) will allow the corresponding
data to be set to the contents of the environment variable."
The -a flag behave as though the options -m, -n, -r, -s, and -v were specified. Freebsd-update can modify /root/.profile or better, /etc/profile, adding those environment variables with correct and update values.
