There's no need to go via FC2 and FC3 either; the upgrade could go FC1->FC4 directly. However, given that this is such a "big" upgrade, I would agree with Matthew that a fresh install is likely to achieve better results, as it will pull in lots of useful new packages (e.g. evince) that you wouldn't get by default doing an upgrade, and many deprecated packages wouldn't get installed, whereas they'll be left on the system if an upgrade is done.
