You can guess by looking at:

    /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh

This will give the version of the kernel, which may not be that useful
for branches that change often, like CURRENT.  It's a good indication of
what branch you're building though.

The value of __FreeBSD_version from /usr/src/sys/sys/param.h is also a
useful number to have.
