Just following the procedure and the changelog entries in
/usr/src/UPDATING should do the job.  It's probably best to cvsup into a
new directory and clean /usr/obj before beginning the update.  That's
how I updated from RELENG_6 to HEAD back in November 2006.

Since we have a misc/compat6x port and a COMPAT_FREEBSD6 kernel
configuaration option, it shouldn't be necessary to rebuild all your
ports.

HTH,
Rene
