The easiest way is to backup your data, nuke the machine adn do a binary
install from cd-rom. If you must do it through sources, you've got to upgrade
to 3.5-STABLE first, then CVSup the RELENG_4 sources. After you get the new
sources completely memorize /usr/src/UPDATING. it has procedures for crossing
the 3-stable to 4-stable boundary. 

send questions to questions@freebsd.org after you've read everything.
