Actually - what is the > difference between the 'pX' and the '#X' after the version? You've shifted your self onto the RELENG_5 code branch rather than the RELENG_5_5 branch. RELENG_5 is most of the time going to give you a system version of 5.5-STABLE. RELENG_5_5 gives you 5.5-RELEASE-pX. As 5.5-RELEASE is has apparently been the last ever release of FreeBSD 5.x, you'll find that there isn't actually that much difference between 5.5-STABLE and 5.5-RELEASE-pX. If you'ld been talking about RELENG_6 versus RELENG_6_1 then as that that includes some very active development on RELENG_6 then things would be different. The '#N' business after the version number is a counter showing how=20 many times you've updated your kernel.
