I didn't try 1.4rc1... How do I try 1.4rc2? If I have a working copy of the release_1_4 branch, do I just configure, make, sudo make install?
Yes.
Does it just overwrite my existing 1.3.2 installation?
Yes.
Anything else I need to do to make it work?
No.
Anything to watch out for?
It's pre-release software. There may be bugs. If you find any, file a ticket and assign it the 1.4 milestone.
The only way I've ever upgraded MacPorts in the past was to use sudo port selfupdate so I just want to make sure I don't hose something here.
selfupdate basically does a ./configure, make, sudo make install for you. The only caveat to be careful of is if you've installed something like Tcl/Tk Aqua, which replaces /usr/bin/tclsh (or as Kevin Walzer pointed out, if you have tclsh installed from fink) it can cause problems.
The only real caveat I can think of is if the official 1.4 release is different than 1.4rc2, a `port selfupdate` won't pick it up, since it will think both versions are 1.400.
