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).
