I am not sure if this information would be helpful but seems relevant. Ladyada claims, arduino might run at 16Mhz @ 3.3v:

She mentioned at the end of the post:
"That's it! You are now 3.3V powered. This is a little lower than the power/frequency specification for the AVR chips since they ought to have about 3.6V to run 16Mhz but its probably not going to be an issue since AVRs can be overclocked a little."

So if you guys can just replace the 8Mhz crystal with a 16Mhz one, seems like you are good to go? I haven't tested any of this though.
