In theory, you could do without the upgrade kit if you update your /usr/src and /usr/ports trees via cvsup, and rebuild your system following the instructions in /usr/src/UPDATING. However, I can see how that can be time-consuming and error-prone for production systems; I think that there shall be a 4.0 upgrade kit somewhere soon.
