Read the Makefile in /usr/src, and UPDATING in /usr/src as well.
What you will want to do is track the security branch, and subscribe to the
security list to get any reports of issues. If an issue arises, you can
choose to cvsup and rebuild, or not. If the issue is not in a subsystem
you use, you can ignore it.
