The only thought/concern I have ... didn't the file system format change
in 5.x? I realize 5.x would be backwards compatible with 4.x, but
wouldn't going from 4.x -> 5.x via cvsup lose out on any new features as a
result of the file system changes?

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.

I just upgraded a machine from 4.10 to 5.4-stable via cvsup / buildworld and
didn't run into any problems whatsoever.
/usr/src/UPDATING has a good guide for doing this migration.
