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.
