No, John Birrell <jb@FreeBSD.ORG> spent a lot of time working on the
upgrade so that you could get to 3.0-current.elf from 2.2.x.  I've done
this recently and was impressed that all of my 2.2.6 era applications
continued to work flawlessly under 3.0/elf.  Even XF86_SVGA!  Of course I
went back and rebuilt everything in order to get rid of the aout
libraries, but it will work.  Don't forget to update /etc files, which
include some ldconfig parameters for aout in rc.conf.
