Can I upgrade 3.3.1-1 to 3.4

Yes, you can easily upgrade.

Modify your mepis repository to this:

deb http://apt.mepis.org/3.4/ sid main

Then
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install mepis-oscenter meauto libstdc++6

(and also apt-get install any other packages you want that are held back -- be careful not to remove anything you need)

I think this upgrades everything but the kernel, which is a "standard DCC kernel version 2.6.12-10"

I haven't found where to get the kernel from yet, though it should be available on some debian site.

I looked at http://www.progeny.com -- it may be there but I didn't find it --
in any case it's probably not that much different from the kernel you have now

post to http://www.mepislovers.org -- very helpful forum

I'm not sure what you understand by the word "custom" but Mepis kernel is the standard DCC kernel. It is "custom" in a sense that's not Debian kernel, but it's compatible with those and they are interchangeable.

A "custom kernel" is a working kernel that you have built for your system or a MEPIS kernel, it has been built for the MEPIS system. Simple, is it not. My kernel is part Deb and part MEPIS and I can say it is a custom kernel. A custom kernel is a good thing.
