   Local patches aren't a problem, actually -- regardless of what I may 
advertise, FreeBSD Update doesn't really track the security branches 
either: It tracks "release branches plus some local fixup patches" (the 
only user-visible change is that kernels are labeled as -SECURITY intead of 
-RELEASEpx).
   Of course, you'd need to build your own updates if you're doing this, 
but the code is all online and (reasonably) straightforward.
