usually, i:

rm -rf /usr/src/* /usr/obj/*

and then just cvsup a whole new set of sources.  i then buildworld and 
buildkernel as laid out in the handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

if you do that, you should be able to move from 6.anything to 6.2-RELEASE 
without any issues.

cheers,
