Softupdates, once compiled into the kernel, is turned on/off on a
per-filesystem basis.
To see what filesystems have soft-updates turned on, issue mount with no
options
mount
/dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local)
/dev/ad0s1e on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1f on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)

As you can see, I've got soft-updates enabled on /usr and /var, but not
/
