Yes. When 5.0 goes stable a new 'RELENG_5' branch will be created,
which tag you'll need to insert into your supfiles if you want to
switch to 5.x. At the same time as the creation of RELENG_5, current
will become 6-CURRENT.
Of course, upgrading from 4.x to 5.x is undoubtedly going to be a bit
more involved than just changing the tags in the supfile and going
through the usual build{world,kernel} sequence.
Cheers,
Matthew
