The 2004 edition of that book does cover FreeBSD 5.2  (says so clearly on
the cover anyway.) This means that all the major changes between 4.x and 5.x
should be included in it.
There have been many changes in FreeBSD since then, of course, but most of
those changes have been fairly evolutionary in nature, so most of the book
should still apply reasonably well.
