Wouldn't it be better then to install a -current snapshot on one's filesystems without reformatting them, and update boot blocks if necessary?

You can't do that in one step. You need to upgrade to 3.4-STABLE first. Then follow the instructions in /usr/src/UPDATING to upgrade to 4.0. Finaly, you can then upgrade to -current.
