# pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui

Copy /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile to /root.  Edit it to use 
your favorite cvsup server, cvsup9.freebsd.org for example.  Now you 
have the tools to update at any time.

# cvsup /root/stable-supfile

Then follow the procedure in the Handbook in 19.4, 'Rebuilding "world"'.
