The FAQ use to address extracting -release source tarballs to /usr/src. At this time, all I see in the FAQ is using CVS to obtain source.

I do plan on running release+errata which confusingly the FAQ describes as -stable (not to nitpick but to avoid future readers having a problem).

There are three flavors of OpenBSD:
-release: The version of OpenBSD shipped every six months on CD and the mirrors.
-stable: The -stable branch is -release plus patches found on the errata page.
When very important fixes are made to -current, they are backported into the two supported -stable branches.

-current: The -current branch is where active development work is done.
Every six months, -current is tagged and becomes the next -release: a frozen point in the history of the source tree.
.

At this time I'll plan on deleting /usr/src/*, extracting the sys/src tarballs and relinking /sys prior to applying any patches
