See

<URL:http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html>;

You'll also find a pointer to it in the "Using 'make world' to rebuild
your system" part of the Handbook.

That, in conjunction with 'mergemaster' in the ports should be more than
adequate. I've not heard of anyone have problems upgrading /etc using
my tutorial and Doug's mergemaster script.

Short of requiring people to type

    make -DYES_I_DO_KNOW_HOW_TO_UPGRADE_ETC world

I don't know how this can be made more obvious.
