thats a bit like asking how long is a piece of string.
the port chkrootkit can help tell you if a root kit has
been installed
on your system, thats all i can tell you with the
information you gave.

for security, generally the kernel and base is not the biggest concern, 
it is ports.

read this section on keeping your ports up to date

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html
and this info is on securing the system in general
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/security-advisories.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/securing-freebsd.html
if you have already been broken into, some details on what happened will 
help us advise you on what they probably used.
