Yes, buried a little in the installation documentation:
http://firedrakeproject.org/obtaining_pyop2.html#petsc

we maintain forks of the petsc and petsc4py repositories which track
master but have known-good pairings.

If you clone petsc from

http://bitbucket.org/mapdes/petsc

and petsc4py from

http://bitbucket.org/mapdes/petsc4py

and use the "firedrake" branch in both.  You get a version that we
claim works with firedrake.  If they do not, please report a bug.

Cheers,

Lawrence
