If I'm following this correctly, if you have 2.2.1 already, a relatively easy way is to download the CVSup binaries (see the handbook entry on "staying current with FBSD) and CVSup with the "RELENG_2_2" tag. From what I understand, that tag is for following 2.2 through all it's various steps of development (ie: if a 2.2.3 comes out, that tag still applies). I did this to track the stable branch of 2.1, and it worked very well. Once you have the new sources (courtesy of cvsup) you can compile and boot a new kernel, and then run a "make world" to bring all your binaries up to date. If I'm wrong, please scream at me.
