I successfully SUPped FreeBSD-stable from ftp.cdrom.com.  This was easy!

Next, I got the new sources to compile but I had to blow away the current 
system's "/usr/include".  This took about two days!

Then, when I went to install the new binaries, everything blew up when the
shared libraries were updated.  I was able to restore them from a backup 
so no harm done.  Whew!

What is the suggested bootstrapping procedure here.  I am currently running
FreeBSD-2.0 from Walnut Creek CD-Rom.  I believe that FreeBSD-stable is 
actually FreeBSD-2.1.
