We are using full text indexing on a table.
The default behaviour is to trigger an index update when a record in the source table is updated.
Would an index update be triggered if an update is done with the same values? Is SQL Server smart enough to know not to re-index this record.

Assuming that you are using (n)varchar as the column, then an UPDATE is an UPDATE, regardless of whether or not the value actually changed. Instead of using AUTO, you could do an Incremental Timestamp-Based Population of the index to reduce the overhead.
