That's correct, biblatex and biber versions are strictly paired. You can
find FreeBSD binaries of all past releases here, including 1.8:

  https://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/biblatex-biber/

Well, the above mentioned source is official repository. Anyway: in the
past I used to provide a text file like this on my site:

  http://anthesphoria.net/FreeBSD/TeXLive-2012/bin/README.txt

(cf section "5. RMD160 checksums"). The file is signed (with the key
mentioned below) and contains RMD160 checksums, so anyone can compare
them with what he/she downloaded. If that's ok, I can provide a similar
signed file containing sums of biber binaries.

Glad you find this biber-related work useful.

Best,
