Are you absolutely sure of that? Maybe if you're accustomed to using a
BIND 4-based named, you aren't aware that BIND 8's config file is called
/etc/named.conf instead of /etc/named.boot. Or maybe the rc script
specifies a different config file on named's command line.
Another, less likely possibility is that OpenBSD's port of BIND supplies
a default directory of /namedb if you don't specify one in named.conf.
You could check this by doing a "strings" on the named binary and seeing
if "/namedb" is in there.
