I haven't found a upgrade guide but the admins guide is very complete:

http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/syslog-ng-ose-3.4-guides/en/syslog-ng-ose-v3.4-guide-admin/pdf/syslog-ng-ose-v3.4-guide-admin.pdf

You could start by looking up your custom settings in the guide tosee if
you brought any incompatibilities into play
