This is a known bug in FreeBSD. Here's what's in the README file
shipped with BIND9.1:

                On FreeBSD systems, the server logs error messages
                like "fcntl(8, F_SETFL, 4): Inappropriate ioctl for
                device".  This is due to a bug in the FreeBSD
                /dev/random device.  The bug has been reported
                to the FreeBSD maintainers.

You can probably ignore this error message unless you're doing DNSSEC.
