If you are really in need for the 3.x version of OCaml compiler, you may want to try OPAM [1]. That is the ocaml-opam package [2] in the FreeBSD repositories. Although OPAM is dubbed as a "package manager", it can actually manage different compiler versions, using its "switch" command [3]. Then you could install OCaml packages atop that compiler separately, isolated from other instances, giving the advantage of working with multiple OCaml versions at the same time.
