I want to upgrade my 4.0-release system to get rid of the ipv6 remote
vulnerability. I understood it's possible only by recompiling because the fix
has been released only in source form. Does it mean when I do it, my system
will not be supported anymore?

Continue ready the FAQ:
Some reasons why you might actually wish or need to build from source:
* Test or develop new features.
* Compiling the system puts a lot of stress on the computer, it can
be a way to make sure the system you just put together or acquired is
actually in pretty good operational condition.
* You wish to follow the stable branch.
* You wish to make a highly customized version of OpenBSD for some
special application.
