I honestly don't know what you are complaining about.

Is it that 4.1.10 was released less than 24h ago and the ports
are not updated yet? Sorry for that, I was traveling yesterday
so I was unable to have a look at it yet.

Is it because 4.1.8 packages for 8-stable are not available?
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/emulators/
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8-stable/emulators/

Is it because the packages are not identical to the current ports?
The binary packages are currently generated on a low frequency
so it will take a few weeks until they are updated.
