use freebsd-version for this with the following options:
      -k          Print the version and patch level of the installed kernel.
                  Unlike uname(1), if a new kernel has been installed 
but the
                  system has not yet rebooted, freebsd-version will 
print the
                  version and patch level of the new kernel.

      -r          Print the version and patch level of the running kernel.
                  Unlike uname(1), this is unaffected by environment 
variables.

      -u          Print the version and patch level of the installed 
userland.
                  These are hardcoded into freebsd-version during the build.
