Well, the uname output says '9.1-RELEASE-p2', which means you
probably have the latest security patches only.

If you mean to track 9.1-RELEASE, yes, you are probably up to date.
If you mean to track stable/9, no, you are not up to date.

Given that for the forseeable future, SVN is what the FreeBSD
project is going to use, it's probably worthwhile to just
compile up svn, and then checkout the source tree you wish to
follow, and you'll be future-proofing your installation.
