I've tried this once when downgrading a not-so-stable -CURRENT (SMP) box to a hopefully-more-stable -STABLE box. I remember running into problems with gcc 3.x failing to compile gcc 2.95 and some C++ related things. I ended up unpacking a 4.7 distribution from the CD into a chroot environment and running buildworld in there. IIRC, this produced a usable world/kernel that could be installed.
