Generally the "safe" way, but 1.4.1 is just a patch release.
So if you already have 1.4 running and the sources for 1.4:

1) get the source patches,
2) apply them
3) configure && make && install your {new} kernel
4) reboot <- probably not neccessary
5) cd /usr/src/ ;make cleandir && make build
6) reboot 

I did it this way, as I did with 1.3->1.3.1->1.3.2->1.3.3 upgrades.

It will be more difficult for i386 users, when 1.5 will be released
