A trip to the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/index.html is always a good start. The chapter you want is http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cutting-edge.html even if you only want to go to 4.2-release this will work well (I just did it last night.) The section you especially want is 18.3 and 18.4 You need to make the port /usr/ports/net/cvsup-bin and edit a supfile to include the line: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_2_0_RELEASE run cvsup <supfile> and this will get you 4.2 release. Then follow the instructions to make world. Then you will want to recompile your kernel, so you want chapter 7 http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html I followed the instructions on those pages and it worked like a charm the first time I've done it.
