Hi!

Our process for this type of upgrade is:

cd /usr/src
cvsup -L 2 -g /root/stable-supfile
# anlegen der neu notwendigen accounts
mergemaster -p
make buildworld; make buildkernel
cp sys/i386/conf/GENERIC.hints /boot/device.hints
make installkernel
cd /usr/src/sys/boot
make STRIP="" install
shutdown -r now
# reboot into single-user
boot -s
fsck -p
mount -uw /
mount -at ufs
# if system clock is localtime instead of UTC:
adjkerntz -i
rm -rf /usr/include/g++
cd /usr/src
make installworld
mergemaster -i
# remove leftovers from bind8
rm /usr/bin/dnskeygen /usr/bin/dnsquery
rm /usr/libexec/named-xfer
rm /usr/sbin/named.restart /usr/sbin/ndc
rm /usr/sbin/nslookup /usr/sbin/nsupdate
# done, reboot
shutdown -r now

Works fine.
