Yes, it's possible.  You can go the build everything from source way, or
you can backup, install 7.X then restore.  Before you pick an upgrade
method, you should at least consider the following:

  * _Why_ do you want to upgrade from an older release like 5.4?

  * How many systems are you going to upgrade?

  * You should probably take a full backup of 5.4 anyway (in case
    upgrading takes a couple of attempts with either method)

  * How experienced are you with upgrading from the source?
