Upgrading FreeBSD 3.5

[Crucial Servers]

Hi,

    I need some advice on steps for upgrading a very valueble machine. This machine has an uptime of 393 days. I need to install a secure version of "curl" this is our main focus right now. FreeBSD 3.5 ports collection is very b0rked and nothing works, I tried downloading the cvsup source and installing it, but now it cant find m3build.

    My main focus is getting this OS to 4.9-STABLE the SAFE way and "Yes" its a contracted machine so its remote. I know there is going to be tons of b0rked programs when I'm all said and done. Can someone please explain how to tackle this animal slowly, I was thinking 4.0 then 4.5 then 4.9.
    
    If I can avoid this all together and install a secured version of "curl" it would be appreaciated. I really cant find the source anywhere.
