Yup, probably.
Also (I think) there's no synchronisation between freebsd-update and
options you set in /etc/make.conf (again, I'm not sure about this, but I
do not want to try).

For instance: in my make.conf is "NO_BIND=true", because I upgraded to
bind 9 long time ago and update it from ISC source. The latest patches
however wanted to overwrite my named.

Enough wining however: freebsd rocks :-)
