No. You must start by installing or upgrading to the most recent snapshot.

Source upgrades to -current are only supported when built from the most recent snapshot. The procedure to follow, to use -current, is to...

Install the most recent snapshot, or upgrade to the most recent snapshot. If the latter, you must review the Following -current FAQ and make any manual changes required. Most of these changes will be included in the upgrade ... but not all. In particular, the time_t change will require an effort on your part to upgrade through. That set of instructions you should not gloss over.

Once at -current, you may either upgrade from snapshot to snapshot, or you may maintain via source.
