First of all, make sure that you follow all the hints in /usr/src/UPDATING.
Second, it often seems to be better to upgrade in small steps than all at
once. That means: Probably go from 3.5 to 4.0-RELEASE first, then maybe
another bit higher (4.2-RELEASE) and finally to the current stable
(RELENG_4).

Updating in such "small steps", taking care to follow any directions in
/usr/src/UPDATING, has always done it for me.
