[1] Use the source.
[2] Use a platform where /etc/named.conf is the default.
[3] Make /etc/named.conf a symbolic link to /usr/local/etc/named.conf.

For [1], you could change the value of DESTETC in the appropriate
Makefile in the ports/ directory. The build process uses these make
variables to generate a pathname.h file that contains default pathnames.
Take a look at the Makefile in src/bin/named for the general idea how
this .h file is generated.
