Source upgrades are certainly possible; I'll let others address
the sequence of steps.
However: were this my problem, I would get a clean disk and
install from scratch. Advantages:
ability to adjust partition sizes
old disk is available _in toto_ to copy data (and executables
if necessary) from
leave behind unused {system, user} {code, data} which
accumulate no matter how hard you try to find them
you're going to have to rebuild the ports anyway; this way
they're guaranteed to build against the most recent
headers/libraries
if the install fails, you can change the cable/jumpers and boot
from the old disk in minutes
