I guess you are talking about binary update. This had been discuessed 
million times in the newsgroup. I feel that if you have a handy tool of 
binary update thru the www, that will be able to bring you a happy 
profit. There was an open-source server code called binary update, it 
keeps in private sector now. That company is using it offers service to 
freebsd community. If you want to join them you can pay them a fair 
amount of dollars then you can have your freebsd system binary update 
regularly thru their server.
