If you want remove 3.23 and install 4.0:
- backup MySQL data dir
- install MySQL 4.0. How to install MySQL from binary distribution you can read at:
    http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing_binary.html
   
- restore MySQL data dir and run mysql_fix_privilege_tables to upgrade grant tables
- remove 3.23

If you want to have both 3.23 and 4.0 versions, you should specify different port, socket, pid-file:
    http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Multiple_servers.html

Some notes about upgrade from 3.23 to 4.0 you can find at:
    http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Upgrading-from-3.23.html
