You would still need csup/cvsup and if you're tracking a -RELEASE branch, it does not do very much. Also, because you're not actually going to build world/kernel, the risk of "hosing your system" is limited. What freebsd-update could however do, is maintain a 'standard-supfile' that would have the correct tag at all times. For example: Would you like to install a supfile for this release in /etc?

It sounds like you could solve this by merely downloading
and untarring the sources. Or untarring the sources from
your CD, if you have one.
Download everything in
http://mirror.pacific.net.au/FreeBSD/releases/i386/7.2-RELEASE/src/
into a directory and issue
./install.sh all
This should work fine, even if you are running some other architecture
as the sources are the same.

freebsd-update & userland sources
Is there a way to get freebsd-update to keep userland sources up to
date?
I had thought that having src, world and kernel as components in the
freebsd-update.conf file would do this but it doesn't seem to. Do I
just add usr.bin and usr.sbin to the components list in the conf file
and run freebsd-update or is it more complex than this? I have read
the man pages on this but there must be a gap between my english and
how the man pages are written because I'm obviously missing the point
somewhere.
By way of background, I am trying not to use csup / cvsup and like
processes as their past, admittedly incorrect, usage by me, combined
with my incompetent salvage operations, has hosed my systems to the
point of needing to be reinstalled from scratch. I have been using a
combination of portsnap and freebsd-update to keep my 7.2-RELEASE
system up to date and commenced this at about 6.3-RELEASE and have
managed to not hose the system since that time. It now however appears
I need to have userland sources to keep fusefs-kmod up to date.
/usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-kmod>make install clean
===> fusefs-kmod-0.3.9.p1.20080208_6 requires the userland sources to
be installed. Set SRC_BASE if it is not in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-kmod.
.if !exists(${SRC_BASE}/sbin/mount)
IGNORE= requires the userland sources to be installed. Set
SRC_BASE if it is not in /usr/src
.endif
I have got around this by manually downloading the fusefs-
kmod-0.3.9.p1.20080208_6.tbz, pkg_adding it, and then forcing the
packages that have this pkg as a dependency to portupgrade with the -f
option. Now portupgrade hits this pkg warning message (IGNORE msg)
everytime it runs.
