It's possible by building a 4.x-stable system and tar'ing the
/usr/src and /usr/obj over to your -current then doing several
'make -k installworld' followed by a 'make installworld' to make
sure it's all been installed then by building a kernel using the
"make buildkernel" method described in src/UPDATING.
