The best way is probably a single upgrade. Go from 4.4->4.7. Don't go
to 5.0. If all the tools you have are ports, installs the portupgrade
port, then do a "portupgrade -af" to force an upgrade of all the
ports.
If you've installed things that aren't ports, you'll probably want to
recompile those if they can be compiled.
