I emailed servepath.com about this very question a while back, and they 
replied that they would install whichever FreeBSD version I wanted 
including 5.3-Release. I don't know anything about servepath.com (I'm 
not a customer), but I would say, don't move providers unless you are 
unhappy with the service ;-).

As far as other providers go, I can't comment on the quality or 
reputation of these services because I haven't made use of any of them 
(yet). That said, here is what I found when I looked for this a month or 
so ago:

   -- http://www.netsonic.net/freebsd-pkgs.php
   -- http://www.nocster.com/servers.shtml

Maybe there are others now that the 5.3 branch has been stabilizing for 
a while. Hopefully the 5.4 Release will be adopted by many dedicated 
hosting providers. I know that I plan to look for a 5.4 system in the 
coming months.

Let me know if you find others that I didn't mention.
