/usr/src/UPDATING says this:


    To upgrade in-place from 8.x-stable to current
    ----------------------------------------------
    <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
    make buildworld                 [9]
    make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE       [8]
                            [1]
    <reboot in single user>             [3]
    mergemaster -p                  [5]
    make installworld
    mergemaster -i                  [4]
    make delete-old                 [6]
    <reboot>


Even though it says 8.x, I would start from these instructions.
