I *think* you'd be OK to go on to 4.9 --- it's not
so far removed from 4.8 as it is from, say, 4.4
or 4.6.2

Be SURE and read things like /usr/src/UPDATING,
(and of course the handbook's recommendations)
though; I'm aware, at the very least, that some
stuff has been committed in one branch or the
other that will break you if you don't follow
'standard procedures' in your buildworld/buildkernel
installkernel/installworld .....
