You have a number of choices:
1) You can burn your own distro CD and upgrade. There are a number of
HOWTOs floating around the internet, and it seems as if the process
is getting simpler with each new release.
2) You could burn a copy of the /usr/src that matches the version you
want to upgrade to and then copy it from CD to the local machine and
do the make build|install process.
3) We run our own cvsup server at the office. Many servers do not have
a path to the Internet, but they can access our local cvsup server to
do updates. The cvsup server (obviously) needs access to the
Internet. The cvsup-mirror port makes this particularly easy to set
up.
Hope this helps.
