paul,

i am surprised that you didn't reinstall. seems easy enough provided you 
backup your mail directories, or, better yet, you move them to a 
different machine and then mount them via NFS until you're ready to 
migrate them back to the local machine, assuming that's where you want them.

even if you have a very complex setup (e.g. lots of patched and tuned 
ports), it shouldn't be too hard to copy the relevant files and install 
the ports.

i sincerely hope that you made a dump/backup of the machine prior to the 
"upgrade".

best of luck,
