You can just replace the old kernel with the new one. You can also have both kernels at the same time and decide which you want to use at boot. In openboot type "boot disk kernelname" where kernelname is the filename of whichever kernel you want to use. I think the latter option is better so you have a backup kernel in case something goes wrong.
