freebsd update requires a known state to upgrade from, i.e. so it can 
apply the right set of diffs to bring your system from one known state 
to another.  This basically means "previously installed from the release 
media and only updated using freebsd update".

If you previously did an update using cvsup to go from 6.3-RELEASE to 
some unknown point in 6.3-STABLE then you can just do another cvsup to 
go to 7.0 :)
