:: 1)  Is this possible?

Sure, anything's possible :)

:: 2)  What is the correct method?

Edit your supfile and change the tag to 'RELENG_4_6_2_RELEASE'.  Re-sup 
your source, and then follow the instructions in the handbook for upgrading 
your system from source:

  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

:: 3)  Is this a particularly painful procedure?

Not at all, as long as you follow the instructions, do mergemaster (many
people forget to do this), and read UPDATING before you begin.

:: PS:  I have already  tried to find what I need in  both the handbook and
:: the faq, but  to no real end.  I've only  found instructions for keeping
:: up-to-date  with a  single release  track (such  as RELEASE,  STABLE, or
:: CURRENT), and nothing for changing tracks.

The available cvs tags are located in Appendix A.7.  These are kept pretty
well up-to-date.

Cheers - Erick
