I did a simple upgrade using source code only.  I grabbed
one of the late December source code images from
releng3.freebsd.org.  I compiled a new kernel first, then
did a make buildworld && make installworld.  Then I merged
any changes in /etc/default/rc.conf with the version in the
source image.  I also search for any new files to for
inclusion in etc. I held my breath and rebooted.

Took about 2 hours, never missed a beat.  My ppp came up no
problem, postgre and apache all startup up with no problem.

I have heard of a lot of problems when trying to upgrade
from binaries.
