If you're running the GENERIC kernel then you're only creating extra work for yourself by rebuilding it for the sole purpose of having uname -r show the "correct" patchlevel... On the other hand if you're running a custom kernel then you only need to rebuild the kernel when freebsd-update touches the kernel sources. I don't recall the kernel was touched at all with the most recently -p7 patch (openssl), for example, so there's absolutely no need to rebuild it. Apologies if this was already obvious.
