I would not touch them as they are really old.
Can you download either 4.11 or 5.4, burn a CD and start from scratch?
It would save you a lot of time as the original disk is dead anyway.
All you could do is a copying the rescuded data over after the systems
works again.
I expect that it would be hard to find help here for older versions of
FreeBSD.
It should not be a problem to run the new versions on old hardware.
Friends of mine do this all the time without any serious problems.
