Basic procedure:  update your system sources to latest releng_5_4 via 
cvsup, compile, then install.  Poof done.  Okay, not quite that simple, 
here's some links to get you started:

Some general directions can be found at 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html 
specifically
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
and
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

If after reading those links you still have questions, ask questions here.

HTH,
Micah
