Painful?  Not at all, unless you're the impatient type.  :-)

I just did the same a few days ago with no problems.

# cd /usr/src
# make aout-to-elf-build
# make aout-to-elf-install (this will also build a new generic kernel)

After this, you'll just need to update your /etc stuff and you're in business.

Good luck.
