I don't know - yet. First question that comes up, after reading the manpages
and freebsd-update.conf(5):

datatomb2# uname -r
8.3-RELEASE-p4
datatomb2# grep Components /etc/freebsd-update.conf 
...
Components src
...

First naive try:

datatomb2# cd /usr/src/
datatomb2# make update
# nothing happens

Next try:

datatomb2# freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found.
Fetching public key from update4.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata signature for 8.3-RELEASE from update4.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Fetching 2 metadata files... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.
Fetching 6 patches.... done.
Applying patches... done.
Fetching 6 files... done.

The following files will be updated as part of updating to 8.3-RELEASE-p5:
/usr/src/contrib/bind9/bin/named/query.c
/usr/src/contrib/bind9/lib/dns/include/dns/rdata.h
/usr/src/contrib/bind9/lib/dns/master.c
/usr/src/contrib/bind9/lib/dns/rdata.c
/usr/src/contrib/wpa/src/eap_server/eap_tls_common.c
/usr/src/secure/lib/libcrypt/crypt-des.c
/usr/src/sys/amd64/amd64/trap.c
/usr/src/sys/compat/linux/linux_ioctl.c
/usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh
/usr/src/sys/netinet/tcp_input.c
/usr/src/sys/netinet6/in6.c
/usr/src/sys/netinet6/ip6_input.c

datatomb2# freebsd-update install
Installing updates... done.

Great, but /usr/src/UPDATING is still at p4 instead of p5???

So - this is definitely no simple plug-in replacement for csup.
And is there a "Components ports"? Doesn't look like it.

Thanks,
