a full system upgrade (make world, as it's often called) isn't nearly as hard
with freebsd as it often is in the linux world.
first, use cvsup to download the most recent version of -STABLE, as documented
in http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html, and then carefully follow
the directions in http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/makeworld.html.
it's really pretty easy.
your current setup in /etc will be left alone. after you build and install
world, you must run mergemaster, which is a script that will automate the
process of updating the files in /etc. since you definately have some files
in /etc that you have modified, this is not completely automated, but it walks
you through it pretty well.
good luck.
