6.2 now official supports binary patches via freebsd-update(8). From
the 6.2-RELEASE announcement
(http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.2R/announce.html):
"freebsd-update(8) provides officially supported binary updates for
security fixes and errata patches"
So there's your response. :)
and you can update your third party packages via binary packages
(which you can get from freebsd.org or build yourself)...so it seems
these two solutions would be a great fit.
