Would you recommend connecting the male-male headers using jumpers? Or maybe a 34-pin ribbon cable...in that case 6 pins in the GPIO board will be left unconnected.

I'd go with whatever you have on-hand. I think the GPIO adapter probably uses a connector the same size as an IDE connector. You could get an IDE cable, cut one end off and then crimp on new pins and plug them into a remap header (crossing signals where needed) to connect to the TI board. But that would require you have the appropriate crimp tool.
The main thing to remember is that if you are running these signals at a ~100MHz, you might get reflections and see data glitches or issues. If you have an oscilloscope, you can probe at the pins of the DAC to see what the signals look like. Make sure to connect as many grounds on the cable as you can. Give it a try and see what happens.
