I just updated a system from 3.4-STABLE to 4.0-STABLE from Saturday (July 1st). It worked almost perfectly following the description in /usr/src/UPDATING. make installworld bombed out once when calling install-info the first time due to a missing libc.so.4. Manually copying libc.so.4 from /usr/obj/... to /usr/lib got this working. I'm not sure, though, if I did something wrong in the earlier steps or if the info install step missed to copy libc.so.4.
