Those are good documents to read, but neither appears to discuss the
specific issue at hand. As it turns out, the URI format in question was
deprecated long before Puppet 3. In fact, I think it was already
deprecated in the OP's v. 0.25.4, and I'm sure it was deprecated by the
next major version, 2.6.
There is no workaround short of hacking the master, but the manifest text
that needs modified (to resolve this particular issue) is pretty
distinctive, and the change needed is pretty straightforward. It shouldn't
be too hard to automate the change via sed. Something like
find /etc/puppet/modules -name '*.pp' -exec /bin/sed -i -e
's,puppet:///,puppet:///modules/,g' {} ';'
would probably do the trick if every single puppet: URI needs changed.
Accommodation could also be made for URIs that are already in the needed
form, if necessary.
Note: that command is untested. Understand what it does, and how, and why
before running it. Back up your manifests first.
Note, too, that the newer form is compatible with Puppet 0.25 (as I
recall), so it should be possible to perform the URI update separately from
the Puppet update, so as to test the former first.
There are way too many changed between 0.25.4 and 3.1.1

I can't agree that the URI format is the biggest change. I think far and
away the biggest is the removal of dynamic scoping (after its deprecation
in Puppet 2.7). Still v0.25 -> v3.1 is a very big upgrade. I would
recommend upgrading first to Puppet 2.7 for a short transition period in
order to be warned of dynamic scope uses, and possibly of uses of other
deprecated features. A significant purpose of v2.7 was to help users
prepare for v3, and it can still serve that purpose. I don't recall
offhand whether v2.7 still recognizes the old URI form, though.
