There is only one sticking point if you use straight csup to update you 
will need to reapply the patch every time you update /usr/src.... if 
this is an issue I suggest you keep a private cvs repo as described in 
development(7) [you will most likely just want to use the /usr/src2 
example and rename it /usr/src]
