Sorry, I wasn't clear.
There are various hacky solutions that you can use if you're safely
within shouting distance of the system. But Randy specified "very

i am not sure i want to be the first :)

Other than backup and reinstall, no. As you already discovered the old
world won't run on the new kernel. Installing the new world before

is there a recipe for moving from i386 to amd64?
on a very remote system, i made the migration from 7.4 to 8.2 to 9.0,
all 32-bit. it was done with repeated
make buildworld
make kernel.new [0]
nextboot -k kernel.new
reboot
make installworld
etc
