Why are there RELEASE base files in /usr/bin. I thought /usr was to only
contain binaries installed from ports or packages.
No. The /usr/local subtree (LOCAL) is for local additions (ports
and packages), while things outside this structure usually belong
to the system itself; I'm excluding mounted filesystem and other
things here for a moment.

But that is not true. The postfix port populates /usr/bin.
I haven't installed postfix, but is this possibly related to the recently
(2010-03-22) added option to install postfix into the base?
In which case the commit six days later claims to correct a problem with the
default (non-base) install.

I installed the package of postfix and it installed is self into
/usr/bin with out any help from me. Packages are frozen some time before
the RELEASE is distributed to the public. The change you question would
have never made it into the RELEASE 8.0 package.
