A trip to the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/index.html
is always a good start.  The chapter you want is
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cutting-edge.html
even if you only want to go to 4.2-release this will work well (I just did
it last night.)  The section you especially want is 18.3 and 18.4  
	You need to make the port /usr/ports/net/cvsup-bin and edit a
supfile to include the line:
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_2_0_RELEASE
run cvsup <supfile> and this will get you 4.2 release.  Then follow the
instructions to make world.
	Then you will want to recompile your kernel, so you want chapter 7
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html
	I followed the instructions on those pages and it worked like a
charm the first time I've done it.
