It won't work at all, because FreeBSD 5.x and 4.x have substantial
differences.

It isn't even recommented to upgrade the kernel only on a FreeBSD
system, because kernel and userland have to be in sync. This is because
programms like `ps', and `ls', etc. share data type definitions with the
kernel, that might change.
