Yes, easily. All of the 4.x PRERELEASE, RC1, RC2 and STABLE versions all derive from the RELENG_4 cvs branch. (RC1, RC2 are just snapshots of the tree at certain times). 4.7-RELEASE will be similarly generated from the RELENG-4 branch, but instead of taking a snapshot, a new branch RELENG_4_7 will be created. If you've been tracking -STABLE up until 4.7-RELEASE come out, and you want to switch to tracking 4.7-RELEASE, all you need to do is modify your cvs supfile to change: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 to *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_7 and re-run cvsup, make buildworld in the usual way.
