I did this several times from sources. Be aware of one problem which
could be fatal. If you created a encrypted partition with GELI and you
downgrade, the older version might not be able to handle the encryption
of the newer version. This is not mentioned in the documentation.

There might be also a catch with the mix of kernel/world. To avoid
problems there, I ran both the installation of kernel and the world in
one go.
