You could use the -f option to force the upgrade, but that can lead to
new problems...  This is a very strange breakage.  I worry that
there's something else going on and the cause is something other than
the 3.4 change - but I have nothing to correlate.

You certainly could - you'd want to install DragonFly 3.2, then pull
down the 2013Q1 branch of pkgsrc.  You can do that by modifying
/usr/Makefile in the new install and then using the normal make
commands to retrieve pkgsrc.  Just look for everywhere in that file
where it says 2012Q3 or whatever it was and change it to 2013Q1.
