The others have told you that such things are possible.  I would advise 
less adventurous souls to perform a binary upgrade when updating major 
version numbers.  I did the upgrades from 2-3 and 3-4 in both ways and the 
binary upgrade was always easier.  I have yet to upgrade from 4-5. The 5X 
UPDATING file is the single scariest FreeBSD document I have ever read. 
UPDATING made me muss my drawers it was so scary.  Don't do scary!  Don't 
muss your drawers!

Once you get a booting system, you can sup and make world to RELENG_5.
