A running FreeBSD system never needs /usr/src. But if you are running
STABLE (or CURRENT), sometimes you will want to look at the source to
something in the running system (usually because it just did something
unexpected...) and so it's helpful to have /usr/src match the running
system. So, not necessary but often a good idea.
