Though I haven't done it myself ... there are two ways to approach this.

1 - You could install v4 without having it restore the data. In other words, when it gives you the restore options, make sure there isn't an asterisk next to "data".

2 - You could also just do a backup of your current data using the nandroid backup/restore console. Then after installing v4, restore your data from v3.

Either way, first create a complete nandroid backup of v3 with everything. That way you can revert back if something doesn't work quite right.
