Of course there is! Push all the things that changed in 3.8 to 3.7. You will then end up with...a poorly done 3.8! Wow! :) Slightly more seriously, no. The OpenBSD project is about moving forward, not adding features to previous versions. 3.7 may have bugs fixed, but will not be receiving new features, support new hardware, etc. Just run 3.8. It works. Obviously, you weren't running 3.7 on this machine. There is no reason not to keep running what you have now, and bump to 3.8-release when it ships.
