 you can just get te sources and recompile..
I did it.. works fine..
you might recompile a few of the utilities (e,g, install)
first to make sure, but a make world
should do fine..

the config files have changed, so back up /etc/and cd to /usr/src/etc
and do {something} to install the new configuration stuff.
