I would like to go this route to migrate some production servers that 
are currently running FBSD 4.11 to DragonFly, if possible.
Yeah, some kind of more or less convenient upgrade path for FreeBSD 4 
users would be nice to have.
Where is the big difference between doing a buildworld, buildkernel, 
installkernel, installworld or doing a binary update?  Maybe we should 
encourage people to do this instead?  I even thought the installer had an 
option.  If not, "just" copying over /kernel /modules /usr /bin/sbin and 
updating /etc should do it as well, right?
