Try upgrading once more, and bring your system to, say, 3.4-STABLE.

I did the same thing last September, and it doesn't pose much problems.
Just cvsup the sources to tag=RELENG_3 and go through the build/install
world thing.

Note that you might find it helpful to read src/UPGRADING first, to see
what has changed since 3.1, that you're now using.
