I am running FreeBSD 10.2. I spun the Droplet, accessed it via ssh, and did the following:
1) cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster/ ; sudo make install clean
2) sudo portmaster -a
3) cd /usr/ports/net/svnup ; sudo make install clean
4) sudo svnup release
5) sudo freebsd-update fetch install
6) sudo reboot
Then, it was not responding to pings, and I could not access it via ssh (additionally, it had no ip address.)
Next, support said I needed to run the following due to a DigitalOcean FreeBSD Provisioning Bug (in Single User Mode):
ln -s /etc/rc.digitalocean.d/[dropletNumber].conf /etc/rc.digitalocean.d/droplet.conf
Now vtnet0 has an ip address, but I have no Internet access, as shown by:
ping 8.8.8.8
no route to host
At this point support said to ask the community.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Not sure what went wrong with you. This is what I did to set-up my FreeBSD droplet. Please notice it was done for a 10.1:
sudo portsnap fetch update
cd /usr/ports/portsmgmt/portmaster
sudo make configrecursive install distclean
rehash
Reboot in single user to disable journaling due to a bug in FreeBSD 10.1 with SSD (I suggest you to check if this still apply to 10.2, in fact I’m going to check myself):
sudo nextboot -o "-s" -k kernel
sudo reboot
In single mode:
tunefs -j disable /
reboot
Now we are back in normal mode and we can finish the installation process:
sudo freebsd-update fetch install
sudo reboot
cd /usr/ports/net/svnup
sudo make config-recursive install clean
sudo vim /usr/local/etc/svnup.conf (select the best mirror based on your droplet's location)
rehash
sudo svnup release
sudo portmaster -L
sudo portmaster -a
rehash
sudo reboot
Maybe at this point is better to start over with a fresh new droplet.
Anyway, I suggest to use pkg to manage your packages. Building everything may take a very long down time if this is a production machine.

Nicholas
