as i guess not *that* much has changed from freebsd (yet) you go your
cvsup / make buildworld / make buildkernel / make installkernel / reboot
to singleuser / make installworld  procedure...

concerning the needed files: i think src/sys changed a lot and programs
depending on that (ps, top etc) so you might want to just plainly update
everything for convenience
