Yes. The ISOs are st
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/4.5/

The install disk is the only one you really need. The remaining disks
contain packages.

See the FreeBSD Handbook at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ 
for details.

You could also update to STABLE. See Chapter 19, "The Cutting Edge"
for detail on use of cvsup to do this.
