Clearly, Paul did mean what he said - which is that Christ freed us from the law, of which the Ten Commandments are the cornerstone. The Ten Commandments are frequently referred to as "tablets of the covenant", even in the the New Testament.
Hebrews 8:13 says, "In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away." When Jesus spoke of the New That covenant in his blood, He also gave a New Commandment that is greater than the old.

The laws are still there...they're written in the hearts of believers:

Heb 8:10 For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

A converted Christians life will eventually come to conform to the written law because conversion makes one want to yield to the law written in our hearts and minds. The ten commandments are the written equivelent to the this spiritual and mental process.
