It's not impossible, it has been done, but I really wouldn't recommend it. It's far from trivial, as there have been major changes. There's the 2.6 kernels instead of 2.4 and udev instead of devfs, for a start - and they are *big* changes, affecting almost everything. If you have any spare space or don't mind losing 9.2, make a fresh install, keeping your /home (assuming you had a separate partition).
