So, now I don't know if I am running 9.2, 9.3, or a 9.2 kernel and 9.3 world. There must be some way to tell. The best thing to do since you need to build world and kernel is to just use svn and do all updates via source. freebsd-update does nothing for you. Grab a completely new copy of the 9.3 source with svn and then build and install it. I'd recommend rolling back to whatever you had before the update before doing so. freebsd-version may have been backported to 9 with 9.3. If so, you can use it. Also, 9.2 kernel with 9.3 world is not likely to be functional since kernels have no guarantee of forward-compatibility (9.3 kernel and 9.2 world would probably be fine, though).
