I'm running the latest CVS head without a problem on my personal server--7 
email accounts.  I keep the old 3.1 version installed just in case I get a CVS 
update that doesn't work at all.  They both coexist using the same database 
without any trouble I've seen anyway.  You will need to update the database 
tables to run the later CVS version, but it adds items--so the old version 
works OK.  You probably want to look at the requirements to see what else you 
will need to upgrade(like php for example) I would set up a test server and see 
what you think.
