It _can_ be done. (I've done it).
First, make a list of all your ports (portmaster -L works fine for
that). Then csup to RELENG_7. Then follow the instructions from
/usr/src/Makefile (the bit about 'upgrade their source'). I've outlined
the process below, with my own additions marked with lowercase letters
a. Make backups
b. Read /usr/src/UPDATING
1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree).
2. `make buildworld'
3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC).
4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC).
[steps 3. & 4. can be combined by using the "kernel" target]
5. `reboot' (in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt).
6. `mergemaster -p'
7. `make installworld'
8. `make delete-old'
9. `mergemaster'
10. `reboot'
c. `pkg_delete -a' (delete all your ports)
11. `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them anymore)
d. Reinstall all root and leaf ports. Dependencies will then be
installed automatically.
