I asked a similar question in June about 6.0 -> 7.2. http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-questions@freebsd.org/msg216640.html A couple people replied that they recommended upgrading via source. That worked fine, so I also recommend going that route and avoiding freebsd-update.sh except possibly for minor security updates. Once kernel and userland are successfully updated, you'll probably want to rebuild all your installed ports.
