Look in the Makefile, probably installs in /usr/local/*

You have two choices : manualy overwrite suns bind 'in.named' 
and the corresponding binaries "nslookup dig and host" 
or
adjust the startupscript ( /etc/init.d/named ?) to start you /usr/local/* bind.

Whatever you do will make you vulnerable for future updates from sun
so keep the build-directory and notes what you did. ( scripting
this process will give you a quick restore in the event some patch
will overwrite your stuff, in addition you might find it convenient
to update another sun with the script)
