wraith: copy your current dom3.exe and rename it (i renamed it to dom310.exe) - running that executable will bring up a 3.10 version game, including for your MP games.
then run the patch - you'll have two executables for the two patch versions...
When whomever is running the MP game updates the server to 3.14, then you'll have to migrate over to the new dom3.exe

A word of warning. This procedure, which used to work in dom-II and older dom-III patches is not working anymore. When applied and when trying to play a turn hosted with 3.10 version and using the backed up exe the game quits with an error that the turn is of an older dominions version.
At this point I was thinking, hey good thing I've backed up my entire dom-III folder.
Wrong
The game gives the same error:
"Nagot gick fel!
Dominions version is too old.

It could be that I've stumbled on to a corner issue, but for me, I can't play 3.10 turns after upgrading to 3.14.
