 I just downloaded the 4.1.10a release for Solaris 8 and 9 (32bit). It
 seems that it is no longer in a tar archive. Was this change
 intentional?

Both yes and no:
Yes, it was intentional to create and offer PKG format.
No, it was not intended to block tar.gz. In fact, tar.gz is still being
built and offered, but due to some mishandling it is not listed on the
download page.

Please access some mirror directly that offers a list - for example:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-4.1/

 
 I cant find any mention of it on the web site. How do I unpack the new
 format into a given directory?

I assume this is possible, but I lack detailed Solaris / PKG knowledge
to answer. Maybe some Solaris manual does tell?

But probably you will get along better by downloading tar.gz.

HTH,
