The latest version is 3.1. 3.0 was a "first cut" at version 3. Since you have it, there's no reason to go "back" to 2.2.8. You should send questions like this to the mailing list FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.org; you'll also find it interesting to read the mail there, since it will give you a much better feeling for what's going on.
