Well, updating a 2.2.x machine to 3.x from sources is not unheard of, but
I've alwasy seen people on this list say that you must CVSup the 2.2.x
machine to 2.2.8-STABLE before you even attempt to begin.

See:

  http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/make-upgrade.html

it is a bit outdated as this was to 2.2.8->3.2, but still gives you a basic
idea what what you have have to do.

End the end, if you have the means to backup your personal data, an install
from a 3.x CD is probably easier (if you can get your hands on one easily).

Good luck.
