Just do an install, but select 'upgrade' instead.
FreeBSD Upgrade Checklist:
1) BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC, BACKUP /ETC. IT __WILL__ BE MODIFIED!!!
2) Boot the new floppy. Select the 'update' option. Follow the prompts.
Make sure you MOUNT your filesystems and not NEWFS them. Select the same
distributions you did originally and any you wish to add.
3) Hit 'commit'. Take note of the modified files.
4) WHen you're dumped to a shell prompt:
. Copy services back from your backup /etc. It's three lines
long now :(
. Edit sysconfig and re-config from scratch using your old one as
a guide.
. Migrate any changes you made to rc.local and other files noted
during the upgrade process.
5) Reboot, recompile & reinstall your kernel, reboot again, and enjoy.
