I've just done a 9.3 to 10.3 upgrade with freebsd-update and pkg. Networking wasn't avalable when the system was running 10.3 kernel with 9.3 userland so I did that part of the update on the console.
I have run into this problem with 9.3 -> 10.x upgrades. Basically, the old 9.3 ifconfig(8) breaks with the new 10.x kernel.
Even though it's not the supported method, I have had good luck running freebsd-update on a 9.3 system, installing the kernel and then immediately (no reboot) running `freebsd-update install` again to install userland. *Then* reboot. You should be able to complete the update (removing old files and updating ports/packages) without having to go to the console.
This method does not appear to be necessary for any upgrades other than 9.3 -> 10.x.
