I'm not running DF, but I am running a fantasy campaign where the characters started at 300 points and are now around 485. I've had to add a character for a new player twice recently, which seems like relevant experience.

I round the point total of the existing characters down a bit and use that for a new one. This reflects that newly-designed GURPS characters tend to be slightly more point-efficient than ones that have accumulated a significant fraction of their points in small experience awards.
