Create a cvsup-file with 

*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_0

This will only give you important security fixes. If there are fixes,
you can find them on the FreeBSD homepage, under SECURITY ADVISORIES.

If a advisory has come out, use cvsup to update the sources, and rebuild
your kernel and userland as documented at the end of /usr/src/UPDATING
under the heading 'To rebuild everything and install it on the current
system". Note; you have to be in /usr/src to build world+kernel.
