Sadly, I wouldn't know.
I use the Subversion base/stable source tree for the OS, be it
base/stable/{8,9,10}, and the ports collection (ports/head) for any
3rd party SW.
On my ZFS systems I always install a new world and kernel into a new
dataset, zroot/ROOT/YYYYMMDD-rRRRRRR, (maybe I'll eventually settle
for a snapshot + clone + install dance), adjust the bootfs property on
the root pool, copy select files from /boot, /etc, and /root to the
new dataset, let the new dataset inherit the mountpoint (legacy) from
its parent, and reboot into single user mode to perform basic
maintenance such as mergemaster and make delete-old, and maybe I even
upgrade any outdated ports using portupgrade and a homegrown shell
script, before I cold boot the system to verify the system's ability
to bootstrap itself, and to allow the harddrives to do their power-on
maintanance.
In stable/10 and head, you can now have options ZFS in a custom kernel
configuration, removing the need to load opensolaris.ko and zfs.ko
along with the kernel. The freebsd-update route allows only for the
GENERIC kernel and a precompiled world. :-/

Hi,
in handbook, section 24.2.3.1. Custom Kernels with FreeBSD 9.X and Later
says:
"Before using freebsd-update, ensure that a copy of the GENERIC kernel
exists in /boot/GENERIC. If a custom kernel has only been built once,
the kernel in /boot/kernel.old is the GENERIC kernel. Simply rename this
directory to /boot/kernel."
Should the last sentence be
"Simply rename this directory to /boot/GENERIC."
or am I missing something?
BR,
Marko
