A binary installation of a 3.4 snapshot would by far be the easiest way to
go. You can do a source upgrade but it's a long and difficult road:
2.2.2 -> 2.2.8-STABLE
2.2.8-STABLE -> 3.2-RELEASE (make aout-to-elf or something, check
/usr/src/Makefile*)
3.2-RELEASE -> 3.4-STABLE.
The reason you have to dgo to 3.2-REL and cant go directly to 3.4-STABLE
is because of reported breakage if you try and go directly.
