NAME
     freebsd-update – fetch and install binary updates to FreeBSD

…

DESCRIPTION
     The freebsd-update tool is used to fetch, install, and rollback binary
     updates to the FreeBSD base system.

…


Given the name and description (above), I think that telling the version alone
– _without_ any update-related action – is out of scope for freebsd-update(8). 

> … no way to print the current version …

The version and patch level can be found in response to: 

    freebsd-update fetch
