Just to let you know. I have done this for years on versions 4 through 
to 10 and never had a single problem. Only on minor version upgrades 
though from say 10.2 to 10.3. My procedure is:

make -j4 buildworld && make -j4 buildkernel
make installkernel
make installworld
mergemaster
shutdown -r now
make delete-old
make delete-old-libs

I do this because I don't have a keyboard or monitor on the machine 
during normal use. This has *always* worked fine. However for a major 
version upgrade from say 10.x to 11.x I have always done it the correct 
and proper way using single user mode via the console.
