 You can upgrade straight to 5.0. 

I've never experienced problems with that neither but if you want to
follow the recommendation, first upgrade to 4.1:

2.4.16. Upgrading MySQL

As a general rule, we recommend that when upgrading from one release series 
to another, you should go to the next series rather than skipping a series. 
For example, if you currently are running MySQL 3.23 and wish to upgrade to 
a newer series, upgrade to MySQL 4.0 rather than to 4.1 or 5.0.

You can upgrade straight to 5.0.  You'll want to read the following
links.  The last two detail changes between the versions.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/upgrade.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/upgrading-from-4-0.html
