I'd look at removing the old RPM.

Make sure you get all the old manual pages.

I'd keep BIND 9.2 in /usr/local as that seems to be the new
default location if you have to build from source.

You can always ensure the right versions by setting PATH and
MANPATH to search /usr/local first, but I'd go for removing the
old stuff if possible. The only problem is RPM packages that
depend on BIND being installed, but there aren't many of these,
and you probably need to build newer versions of most of them
anyway.
