Yes. It's in the man page for named (in doc/man/bin) and the BIND9
Administrator's Reference Manual (in doc/arm).

Type "named -u uid".

BTW, your Subject: header refers to chroot, not running the name server
as a non-root user. So if that was the question you meant to ask, it's
documented in the same places. The magic incantation for that is
"named -t foo" where foo is the pathname for the chroot jail.
