Probably not.

If freebsd-update is  used and the update does not change the kernel, the
kernel is not touched and remains at the prior level. If built from
sources, even though the kernel is identical, the kernel version is bumped.
I just confirmed that none of the updates to 10.2-RELEASE appear to update
the kernel.
