I should note:

"Upgrading" from 4.4-release or 4.4-stable to -current is fairly easy.

Step 1: back up your OS
Step 2: "upgrade" to most recent snapshot
Step 3: run sysmerge
Step 4: Check the "Following -current" FAQ for anything sysmerge might have missed.

At that point, you may optionally upgrade installed packages to the most recently available prebuilt snapshot packages available for your architecture.

# pkg_add -iu

Since snapshot packages are never in sync with snapshots, you may find some inconsistencies which cause some packages to fail to install. The script(1) program in concert with col(1) is helpful for finding errors in the midst of hundreds of package upgrades.
