I haven't used the release media for 8.x.  You could use

ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org:21/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/8.1-RELEASE/lib32/install.sh

directly, or, in sysinstall(8), perhaps there is a non-default option
to install the 32-bit compatibility libraries?  If you can't find it,
ask on freebsd-questions.

According to lib32.mtree, somewhere in the archives in:

ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org:21/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/8.1-RELEASE/lib32/

Yes, those in:

http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revision&revision=181136

Part of it is stashed (unexpectedly, perhaps, for someone not
intimately familiar with the system sources) in Makefile.inc1.
