I can't really remember, but since I've deleted and recreated the entire 
folder, it should have been recreated at first run as well.

I didn't really solve the freebsd-update problem, but I upgraded the 
machine in the following way:
I did a binary upgrade from the CD, then csup'd the sources and 
recompiled the kernel.
I guess if there continues to be a problem with freebsd-update, it may 
exhibit itself during normal updates as well.
