Sure it is.  If you can upgrade the OS, you can certainly upgrade the
bootblocks.  I see you complain about this alot, but this is no harder
than typing 'dislabel -B wd0' (or sd0..)

Besides, you can't boot off the old bootblocks with an ELF kernel
anyway.

If you're willing to jump to an ELF kernel remotely, then you should be
willing to upgrade the boot blocks remotely.
