Maybe I'm confused, but I thought freebsd-update installed precompiled 
binaries of the generic kernel and world.  Therefore, you would need to 
reboot if the kernel changed.  Freebsd-update should tell you what will be 
changed after it finishes the fetch.  I don't recall if it also tells you 
what it installed.
