I managed to upgrade a 4.1 box to 4.9-stable by doing it in steps:

First cvsup'ed RELENG_4_3, make buildworld, make buildkernel,
installkernel, reboot, installworld .....

then I cvsup'ed to RELENG_4_6 and did the same
then I cvsup'ed to RELENG_4_9 and successfully completed the upgrade. A
little bit of a long process and if you can get by doing a fresh install
rather than trying to upgrade it would probably be quicker ... but
upgrading did work in steps for me.
