already built; waiting to install). /usr/src/UPDATING doesn't seem to
indicate this is out of the question.
It would be best for you to just schedule a time to update the box
entirely to RELENG_7, or at least RELENG_6. This may take less time and
induce less pain than any oddities which might appear from a 4.8->4.11
upgrade.
