RFC 6303 and bind 9.9.0

Yes.  To expand a bit on Mark's answer, all of the namespaces covered by
RFC 6303 have built-in empty zones in BIND 9.9, and these zones are
activated by default in any view that supports recursion.  No
configuration should be necessary.

If you want to set up reverse DNS for a private network in a nonroutable
address space, you can go ahead and do so; zones that you configure
override the built-in zones.
