You can, doncha know, install ports into $HOME?
Ergo, you could install bash 3.x and one or more earlier versions
in $HOME/bin/ and test your scripts to your heart's content.

I found the install 'tricks' via Google, but I don't remember the 
keywords I succeeded with beyond 'freebsd' and 'ports' now...

I successfully installed `alpine` in my FreeBSD shell account 
at a time when the SysAdmin only had `pine` installed.  WFM
