Any difference in fetching src via...

svn

Code: 
svn checkout https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/release/11.1.0/ /usr/src

OR

wget/ftp/etc

Code: 
wget http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/11.1-RELEASE/src.txz

...and then running freebsd-update to update the src?

TY,

release/11.1.0 won't receive any updates. You should be using releng/11.1 instead. Other than that, not really.

If you go the SVN route remember to disable the src component in /etc/freebsd-update.conf so that freebsd-update ignores /usr/src.
 
Note that fetching the source for 11.1-RELEASE only gets you the source for 11.1-RELEASE, this will be without any security patches.
