You shouldn't lose any settings unless someone has screwed up (I usually 
hold-off major upgrades for a week or so to catch immediate bug-fixes).

There are instructions here:

Note that you will need to set PACKAGESITE to a source of the new packages 
otherwise you will simply reinstall to old version. I used to use the 
fruitsalad servers, although I build KDE from ports these days.
