The Handbook provides plenty of information about using cvsup:

You can better sync your source with cvsup rather then using the sources which
are being installed by the CD. Like that you'll always have the most recent
version of your FreeBSD installation.

Yes, you can boot Gentoo from a live-cd, you extract a "temporary"
Gentoo-system to your harddisk, chroot into it and start recompiling from
there.

Hello,
"FreeBSD from Scratch" describes a method for REbuilding a FreeBSD system
entirely from sources, starting from an existing FreeBSD system.
But I want to build a new FreeBSD system on a machine currently NOT
running FreeBSD. How can I do this?
I'm used to doing this with Gentoo Linux:
