If you are tracking just the kernel sources, you can use svn
to track the releng/9.1 branch. If for some reason you really
really want to use freebsd-update, I'd suggest setting up a
virtual machine that exactly tracks a release.

You can use a `staging' server where you can update, build and
check things out before a wider deployment. There are tools
that allow you to push your changes to the deployed machines.
