freebsd-update question

Wed May 2 07:23:13 UTC 2007

I have machine wich is build from sources (FreeBSD 6.2p3 , RELENG_6_2). 
Can I use freebsd-update on that machine straight away?

In the article that appears on top of google (http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/binup.html), there is section about removing kernel counters, perllocal.pod etc. It's not clear for me if that step should be taken at server's or the client's side.
