Just about. There are only a few files in /etc to upgrade. You have to
be careful there not to blow away your configs. You can start with
'diff -r /etc /usr/src/etc | less', then either copy files are merge
in changes as needed. There are still a few files in the source tree
destined for /etc that are not in /usr/src/etc; the lists are in
/usr/src/distrib/sets/lists/etc.
You might also wish to rebuild your device files, as follows:
 mkdir /nudev
 cp /usr/src/etc/etc.`uname -m`/MAKEDEV /nudev
 cp /usr/src/etc/MAKEDEV.local /nudev
Now shutdown to single-user,
 shutdown now
 cd /nudev; sh ./MAKEDEV all
 cd /;
 mv dev odev
 mv nudev dev
 rm -r odev
and reboot
 shutdown -r now

It's very important not to blow away your device files until the new
ones are in place!!!

That's all.
