Have you seen this in the pg_upgrade 9.2 manual?

If you are upgrading a pre-<productname>PostgreSQL</> 9.2 cluster
that uses a configuration-file-only directory, you must pass the
real data directory location to <application>pg_upgrade</>, and
pass the configuration directory location to the server, e.g.
<literal>-d /real-data-directory -o '-D /configuration-directory'</>.

-o, --old-options=OPTIONS old cluster options to pass to the server
-O, --new-options=OPTIONS new cluster options to pass to the server
