Great!

Two ways.  Either one you choose, make sure you have a backup in case
something happens.  Binary:

http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/4-STABLE/installation/i386/upgrading.html
You basically just boot the 4.8 install CD, and pick Upgrade.  It'll
install new binaries, but keep most of /etc as-is.  You'll probably
want to print out the output of "mount" so you can enter the correct
filesystem names in the fdisk screen (it doesn't read your existing
fstab).

Source:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html
This method requires you to pull the entire source tree and build all
the binaries on your local system.  Any reasonably-new machine should
be able to build world in a couple hours.  After installation, you run
mergemaster to update /etc.  Has the advantage that you can keep local
source mods for binaries, and you can track -STABLE instead of waiting
for RELEASEs.
