It is the release + security fixes. The tags are explained in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html

If you follow one, I think *_5_3 is the one to follow rather than the 
initial release, which would be RELENG_5_3_0_RELEASE. It will never 
change and you have to add the security patches manually.
