If you're currently running 2.2.5 or earlier, the answer is "/src".
That's about 250 MB.  You need to completely rebuild the system.
Check out http://www.lemis.com/staying-current or chapter 17 of "The
Complete FreeBSD", second edition
(http://www.cdrom.com/titles/os/bsdbook2.htm) for more details.

If you have the 2.2.5 CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, you have the
repository on CD-ROM 3.  You can use that as a start and upgrade from
there, which makes a lot less to transfer.

Don't count on -CURRENT being your way to that.  It's not for the
casual user.
