I did roughly the same but slightly different method:
0. Deinstall all ports but record what they are
1. FTP the enitre kernel and base system from what ever version you want
2. Install the kernel with (this assumes 7/8-current):
~ ./install.sh generic
3. Install the base system
~ ./install.sh
4. Reboot
(optional) 4a. Get the most recent sources and remake the system with those
(optional) 4b. Get and install any other sysinstall distfiles you wish
(optional) 4c. Run make delete-old and make delete-old-libs
5. Reinstall all your ports
Note: ./install.sh done from what ever dir you put the distfiles in (*DO
NOT* intermix kernel and base)
4c is almost not optional
