Comment #5 to https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D211398 =
has a patch that gets you very close to the right place for 9.3.  =
However, that patch works and I am now able to upgrade to 11.0-BETA4.  I =
have one server almost completed.  There are a couple of issues with =
packages, but they are being worked out.
