Two things.

- There is so much difference between 2.2.xx and 5.xx (or 4.xx) that
  you should just start over on a new machine or at least a new disk.
  Keep the old one around for updating your locally created stuff like 
  web pages.   Even the Apache you would now install is probably so
  much different from what you probably have running on FreeBSD 2.2.8 
  that is would be easier to just start over and carefully create a
  new configuration.

- Unless you have a very compelling reason to need 5.xx probably it is 
  better to go to FreeBSD 4.8 rather than 5.xx for now.   Under any 
  circumstance, don't make it 5.0.   If you need 5.xx then use 5.1
  which is newly out - but really, go to 4.8.
