or in the dmesg or

$ svnlite info /usr/src

... for the svn revision number, which in this case is r305028

svn info /path/to/file

or browse svnweb.freebsd.org for the file and revision history.

I'm sure there are other ways... which I'd be curious about.

This is all internet-searchable stuff... but glad you asked here :)
