Read http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/current-stable.html At this time, FreeBSD-3.4-RELEASE is evolving slowly into 3.5-RELEASE under the CVS tag 3.4-STABLE. The 3.x-Track of FreeBSD receives only major bugfixes now, there is no new development on this branch, no new features will be backported from the more advanced branches of development. FreeBSD-4.0-R is evolving into 4.1-R, the CVS tag of this evolution tree is 4.0-STABLE. This branch is actively developing now, although... FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT is the CVS tag for the version used for experimental changes, which is the most advanced of the three active source trees right now. If you're looking for a stable target to develop against, I'd recommend 4.0-STABLE.
