It's called freebsd-update. :-) Provided you're happy with RELEASE and 
don't want to track STABLE or CURRENT, you can use freebsd-update to 
update just /usr/src. Simply find the line in /etc/freebsd-update.conf 
that reads

Components src world kernel

and change it to read

Components src

and it will only touch /usr/src. If do you want to track anything other 
than RELEASE you'll have to use svn.
