Yes, assuming that you've checked out the sources properly and
actually have the svn Id string. I'm not sure how you got what you got
there, but when I check out the sources with svn I get something like
this:

# $FreeBSD: head/etc/pam.d/ftpd 170510 2007-06-10 18:57:20Z yar $

Assuming you've run mergemaster on this installation previously you
could use the -U option to install new files that you haven't modified.
