to 6.0

The writing is on the wall and all that stuff. I've put this off long
enough.

What needs to be done to upgrade from 4.11 to 6.x?  I have an extensive
amount of ports installed and in googling and searching the list, it
seems I
need to make a jump to 5.2 then from there to 6.

My thinking is the best way to do this would be to cvsup, do the
rebuilding
of the world thing boot it to the 5 version then cvsup to 6.

The server is continuously backed up so rolling back won't be a problem
if I
need to.

Am I on the right track by doing source upgrades? If so, what
intermediate
jump(s) do I need to make to get from 4.11 to 6?
