I did this a while ago for the same reason. My logbook says that it wanted to use /var/run/samba34 (a directory) instead of the previous default. That was easy. Also that smbd wouldn't start because it needed the avahi-app package (and dependencies) but this presumably wasn't listed as a dependency because I had to install it by hand. I had to re-add the user rights for some reason - YMMV - this may be the use of different directories for 3.4. Probably wasn't necessary, but I moved smbusers to /usr/local/etc/samba34, and updated smb.conf. I can't remember how much of the above turned out to be essential.
