Unless you are using memcached as a database (which it's not made to  
do), then your concern is probably to not lose the full cache at  
once.   If that's the case, you can run multiple memcached instances  
using part of the memory each on different ports on the same system -  
say 4 instances with 256MB memory each rather than one with 1GB.

Then you can upgrade one at a time and give your cache a chance to  
get populated again before "losing" the next segment/partition.
