Two ways:
1. Use a SNAP (they're generated daily on current.freebsd.org). In this
case it is just like installing (or upgrading to) a release.
2. Upgrading from source. There's a section in the handbook (called
"Staying current with FreeBSD", IIRC) about getting the sources and a
tutorial (though a bit out of date) under
http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html about how to upgrade from sources. This
is probably the way to go if you want to track current, as it lets you
upgrade to a new source tree with much less downloads.

Simply subscribe to the list. Send a message to majordomo@freebsd.org
with an empty subject and a body that has the single line:

subscribe freebsd-questions

in it.
