I'd suggest the following steps:
1. install mergemaster from ports (/usr/ports/sysutils/mergemaster)
2. Read through the mergemaster man page.
3. print out the following "excellent" documents from the web:
A. http://www.ucb.crimea.ua/~ru/FreeBSD/30upgrade.html
(Upgrading to FreeBSD 3.0-STABLE by Ruslan Ermilov)
B. http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html
("Making the world" your own by Nik Clayton)
4. Get comfortable and read through the above documents
5. Read through /usr/src/Makefile
6. Relax and "get your mind right son" #:^) because
you're about to perform the following upgrade:
2.2.7-release -> 2.2.8-stable
2.2.8-stable -> 3.2-stable
When you're finished bask in the glow of a job well done ...
