That's what the Upgrade menu item in sysinstall is for :)  It'll save a
copy of /etc to a safe place then copy the passwd file back after the
install.  You'll want to rebuild all your ports, but most should still
work until you do.  A fresh install is always cleaner, but I've
upgraded some of my servers from 2.2.8 -> 4.* -> 5.* with no problems.
