If you did not update your src, you might consider looking into 
freebsd-update.  From what I hear, it updates only the binaries.

it's in /usr/ports/security/freebsd-update

And, from the pkd-descr:
more pkg-descr 
This is the client half of the FreeBSD Update system; it fetches and
applies binary security updates.
