I really don't see any benefit compared to the normal procedure (i.e. boot from one of the install media, enter u as in Upgrade, and proceed). And for /etc, just follow the upgrade FAQ or extract etcXX.tgz and xetcXX.tgz to some temporary place and use mergemaster(8) (available as package or from the ports tree) to merge them in.
