The advisory explicitly goes over what files were changed, and what
revisions include the fix.  The below versions include the fix.  If you
have older versions, then the answer is no, you do not have the fix.

http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-08:01.libpthread.asc

src/UPDATING				1.416.2.37.2.6
src/sys/conf/newvers.sh			1.69.2.15.2.5
src/lib/libpthread/sys/lock.c		1.9.2.1.8.1
src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_kern.c	1.116.2.1.6.1

These are for CVS tag RELENG_6_3.

I do not use freebsd-update.  That said:

The man page for it states that it's a binary updater for pieces in the
base system, so you looking at your *source* files would indicate
absolutely nothing, other than when you last ran csup to update your
/usr/src tree.

I do not know of a way to verify if your libpthread library actually
contains the fix.  We will have to wait for Colin's answer.
