Mostly right, although bind9 doesn't like the '-g' flag, and the port
will install it into /usr/local/sbin and you'll probably want to
explicitly define where the named.conf file is:
named_enable="YES"
named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named"
named_flags="-u bind -c /etc/namedb/named.conf"
Cheers,
Matthew
