pacman -Syu

will upgrade ALL packages, including the kernel.

I've been using AL for about 7 months now, and estimate i have done atleast 30 kernel updates that way with only minor problems.

And if you are using lilo, remember to run lilo afterwards. If there are extra stuff to check for, they are usually displayed in the post installation messages or there's something in the front page news.
