Just "freebsd-update" ;-)

That works fairly well with the current freebsd-update (or bsdupdates.com)
solutions.  For most GENERIC installed systems, it works fairly well.  I use
on 3 systems at my home for this, and I'm pretty happy with it.

It doesn't work very well in environments with compiled options, custom
kernels, and other situations.  That's what I'm trying to tackle here.
