If you're using freebsd-update then you don't need the libc sources.
Does no harm to have them around.
Given you're using a custom kernel then you definitely do need the
kernel sources: that's everything under /usr/src/sys plus a few other
bits and pieces.

The default setting for freebsd-update is to install the system sources.
If you haven't changed /etc/freebsd-update.conf then something odd is
happening. Perhaps you manually deleted the contents of /usr/src ?
If you definitely don't want the system sources, then edit
/etc/freebsd-update.conf and change this section in the obvious way:
# Components of the base system which should be kept updated.
Components src world kernel
# Example for updating the userland and the kernel source code only:
# Components src/base src/sys world
ie. comment out the first 'Components' line and uncomment the second.
Cheers,
Matthew
