No doubt BIND can do this ... but I find djbdns much easier to configure.
The following URL outlines what you need to do, and is dead simple:

http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-cache-x.html

Install the /usr/ports/dns/djbdns port, then head to the above page.  Don't
forget to set up daemontools (it will be installed as a dependency but
requires some configuration).
