Well, yes. I see that I will have to use svn for source updates. Even if 
I could update the src and ports trees via freebsd-update/portsnap, I 
couldn't use it to track the sources between releases, or to track the HEAD.

I just wanted to see if I can retain the convenience of the system being 
able to update its sources without the help of any ports app (which the 
svn is). If it's not possible, I will "factor out" the source update 
outside my upgrade scenario.
