As mentioned, there are a lot of variations.

Personally, I bootstrap current systems by installing a
minimal STABLE distribution first (today, that's 8.2) from
the CD.

Then use SVN to checkout the CURRENT sources to /usr/src.

Then following the instructions in /usr/src/UPGRADING.

The trickiest issue is whether you want to build any
additional ports before or after you upgrade.  That
basically depends on whether you want to debug
FreeBSD or debug ports.  ;-)
