If you want the security branch (4.10 release + security fixes) for FreeBSD 4.10, you will also need to change RELENG_4 (-stable) into RELENG_4_10. I wouldn't mess with partial fetching of the sources. If you already have the sources from your FreeBSD 4.9 cdrom, updating to 4.10 shouldn't take more than half of an hour using a 56K modem. I'd also give the same advice for ports: Install the from the cdrom first, use the example supfile, and fetch the whole tree -- this will save you a lot of trouble at virtually no expense (I don't now your connection charges, though).
