You can avoid rebuilding named by editing /usr/src/usr.sbin/Makefile. If you rebuild often, try copying Makefile to makefile and editing makefile. It will supersede the Makefile in the same directory. I use this technique often to avoid building various aspects of the tree. FWIW, I would really like to see this as a /usr/src/Makefile option. The problem being which elements of BIND do you not rebuild? You want the 4.9.6 resolver libraries and includes, even if you build and use the 8.1.1 stuff for certain applications (you have to link it specifically, it's not included in anything otherwise). The binaries like dig, nslookup, etc. should be exempted with a -DNOBIND option, however in the end it's easier to just rebuild 8.1.1, especially now that there is a port.
