Take a look at zonetodb.c in the contrib/sdb directory of the bind9
source distribution. Parsing named.conf and feeding the results as
parameters to zonetodb is left as a fairly trivial exercise for the
reader.
Personally, I'd normalize all my zone files by running them through an
axfr before importing, but then I'm a paranoid kinda guy ;)
