>From the box you want to upgrade:

# cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui && make install
# cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile /root/mycvs

Now edit /root/mycvs and set CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org
to one of the sites from here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

# cvsup -g -L 2 /root/mycvs

Go get a cup of coffee. If there are no errors, continue

# cd /usr/src
# make -j4 buildworld
# make buildkernel
# make installkernel
# make installworld
# mergemaster

Here you must read mergemaster carefully

# shutdown -r now

That's oversimplified, but that's it.
