Sorry that i cannot help with the real issue, but a woskaround 
is a simple script to 'cp' the resulting binaries to wherever you
want them. You might even consider overwriting the sun-supplied 
ones to make shure you never accidantly invoke them ...


What i have been using ( since ut suits _my_ habits on FreeBSD) is :
#!/bin/sh
# install bind-9 IN THE RIGHT PLACES so everything works,
# also overwrite every reinstalled bind-8
#
install -b /home/peter/bind-9.2.2rc1/bin/named/named /usr/sbin/named
install -b /home/peter/bind-9.2.2rc1/bin/check/named-checkconf /usr/local/bin/named-checkconf
install -b /home/peter/bind-9.2.2rc1/bin/check/named-checkzone /usr/local/bin/named-checkzone
install -b /home/peter/bind-9.2.2rc1/bin/dnssec/dnssec-keygen /usr/local/bin/dnssec-keygen
install -b /home/peter/bind-9.2.2rc1/bin/dnssec/dnssec-signkey /usr/local/bin/dnssec-signkey
install -b /home/peter/bind-9.2.2rc1/bin/dnssec/dnssec-signzone /usr/local/bin/dnssec-signzone
install -b /home/peter/bind-9.2.2rc1/bin/nsupdate/nsupdate /usr/bin/nsupdate
# install -b /home/peter/bind-9.2.2rc1/bin/dig/dig /usr/bin/dig
install -b /home/peter/bind-9.2.2rc1/bin/dig/dig /usr/bin/dig
install -b /home/peter/bind-9.2.2rc1/bin/dig/host /usr/bin/host
install -b /home/peter/bind-9.2.2rc1/bin/dig/nslookup /usr/bin/nslookup
install -b /home/peter/bind-9.2.2rc1/bin/rndc/rndc /usr/sbin/rndc
#
install -b /home/peter/bind-9.2.2rc1/bin/nsupdate/nsupdate.8 /usr/local/man/man8


If an upgrade should overwrite by binaries i only have to run this
script again ( thus overwriting the update )
