I've been wondering about this too. Upstream released 8.4 this month. It has some new features not present in 9.1, but it is already being called a 'legacy release'. Its official EOL should be in about 2 years. That doesn't seem a good candidate for Jessie. I'm not sure if someone might have use for an 8.4 package in the meantime? I'm glad we released Wheezy with two kernels because it has helped a few times to narrow down regressions between kernel series or in GNU/kFreeBSD userland. I also found some flaky hardware which seems only able to boot kfreebsd-8. I suppose we might see a kfreebsd-10 release candidate in a few months. Some are eager to try snapshots already which are occasionally uploaded to experimental. We could have choices of a kfreebsd-9 and kfreebsd-10 for Jessie release.
