The easiest way to do the upgrade (if you are using a GENERIC kernel) is
to use Freebsd-update (http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/)
It's a pretty powerful tool which allows you to do binary updates for
FreeBSD.
To upgrade between major versions you would want to check out this page:

.html.
If i have read the man pages correct the command im using being ...
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.0-CURRENT
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 1 mirrors found.
Fetching public key from update1.FreeBSD.org... failed.
No mirrors remaining, giving up.
Are there more mirrors or am i missing something here ?
Yes, 7.0-CURRENT doesnt exist. freebsd-update will do releases (with
updates) not -CURRENT or -STABLE
use 7.0-RELEASE instead (which will get you 7.0-RELEASE-p3)
looking in my command history i used
freebsd-update -r 7.0-RELEASE upgrade
freebsd-update -r 7.0-RELEASE install
