The devel/kio-extras port isn't explicitly dependant on samba-4.8. The port 
has a USES=samba clause, and bsd.default-versions.mk still defines 
SAMBA_DEFAULT?=         4.8 . I imagine bsd.default-versions.mk will be 
updated shortly as samba-4.8 is end of life.

If you want to build devel/kio-extras with Samba 4.10, put 
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=samba=4.10
in make.conf.
