I recently did the upgrade from 2.1.5 to 2.1.9 for the NTP Public 
Services Project at ntp.isc.org.  It really was this simple:

	1.  Stop the web server (apache)
	2.  Stop postfix
	3.  Stop Mailman
	4.  As root, do "cd /usr/ports/mail/mailman/; make install"
	5.  Start Mailman
	6.  Start postfix
	7.  Start the web server
	8.  Check everything to see that it all appears to be working
		correctly.

Of course, I actually used the FreeBSD port system to install Mailman 
as opposed to installing from source, but the concept is the same. 
And this is no guarantee that things will be this clean for you.
