I've recently done this (to -CURRENT, obviously) on my new laptop, and
it was a breeze.  The only gotcha is having to build a 4.0 kernel first
and boot from it.

As to differences between 3.x and 4.0, there's a lot of work on
the ATA subsystem, network devices, pccard stuff, new gcc, newer
ntp, and many vm related changes.
