See /usr/src/UPDATING entry 20040728. It must be said that source upgrades 
from 5.2.1-RELEASE to 5.3 are going to suck exceptionally hard. The default 
pthread library has changed and the default system compiler has changed - the 
moment you try and add something new to the system, be it via port from 
source or binary package you are very likely to be hit by massive binary and 
source incompatibility.

The pthread library change can be worked around with the help of libmap.conf, 
the ABI incompatibility between g++ 3.3 and g++ 3.4 cannot. In general, 
backing up all data and reinstalling from scratch has not been such a good 
idea for upgrading FreeBSD in a long time... 

I don't think that these issues are anywhere nearly documented adequately 
either. IMHO, 5.3-RELEASE needs to come with some _very_ big warning signs in 
all kinds of places, possibly including make buildworld and sysinstall.
