5.3 -> 6.2 should work right?

First, you should update your system to RELENG_5_5. Then probably you 
can try to update to RELENG_6_2. It is always good to update to the 
latest minor before you update to a different major version.

By the way, updating a system from 5 to 6 is a headache. (Updating from 
4 to 5 is much easier.) Many will suggest (including me) to install your 
new 6.2 system from binaries, and then transfer your programs and users, 
if possible.

Best,
