It's called freebsd-update. :-) Provided you're happy with RELEASE and don't want to track STABLE or CURRENT, you can use freebsd-update to update just /usr/src. Simply find the line in /etc/freebsd-update.conf that reads Components src world kernel and change it to read Components src and it will only touch /usr/src. If do you want to track anything other than RELEASE you'll have to use svn.
