FYI, I have a repo-copy request in to portmgr so that I can add the
bind96 port, but given the holidays they are a bit backed up
(understandable). You can get a copy of what will be the port at:

http://dougbarton.us/Downloads/bind96-freebsd-port.tbz2

sha256 sum for that file is

In theory that should have worked, not sure why it would not have. You
can overcome that problem by specifying the -c argument to named.
There is an example in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
