Hi,

I'm not sure it's actually the question you're asking, but i did a 
cvsup, buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, installworld yesterday, 
from a 5.3-release to 5.4-release, and I didn't had problems.
However, since I do have something very classical (Athlon-xp 
mono-processor), it wasn't very dangerous ...

Good luck
