I do not think that is feasible.

ZMQ 3.x.x and ZMQ 4.x.x has different wire formats, so they are not 
interchangeable. Also the header files have changed, so I assume that 
would not be possible to have a version that supports both (i.e. based 
on the C library installed).

We would at some point upgrade the binding to 4.x, but we don't have any 
concrete plans. That said I would guess that its not too far into the 
future.

However, it seems that its possible to install the zmq 3.2 though brew:
