Very easy, all explained in the handbook. If on Intel, cvsup is your 
friend. Are you sure you'll want to install CURRENT, by the way? - In 
the FreeBSD context CURRENT is more like development alpha version, 
STABLE branch is more like beta, and RELENG branches are the bug and 
security fix branches of the original release. All explained in the 
handbook.

http://www.freebsd.org/handbook, See chapter 19 and appendix A.
