You should go via RELENG_3 to perform the upgrade. One think to be careful with is the aout->elf transition that occured between RELENG_2_2 and RELENG_3. You'll have most luck if you upgraded the 2.2 machine to RELENG_2_2_8_RELEASE first, Then go to RELENG_3_2_0_RELEASE, and from there to RELENG_3_5_0_RELEASE, and then hop over to RELENG_4. Read the /usr/src/UPDATING file between cvsups as it contains information that will help you in the upgrades.
