What's the basis for your suspicion?

5.X releases up through and including 5.4 included a migration guide
(written mostly by me) with step-by-step instructions on migrating from
4.X.  I don't recall any widespread problem reports from people when
following these directions correctly on migrating from 4.X to 5.4.  And
I'm fairly sure that a number of the FreeBSD.org machines were upgraded
using exactly this procedure (4.X to 5.4, then 5.4 to 6.X).
