Recommended?  It's more a personal preference thing, isn't it?

 If so can this be accomplished using the
> portupgrade command

No.  Portupgrade will upgrade 8.3 to 8.4.

 or should a different method be used like downloading

No.  Use the ports.  Make backups of your .conf and .zone files.  Then go 
to /usr/ports/dns/bind8/ and make deinstall.  Then go to 
/usr/ports/dns/bind9/ and make install clean.  Then read the pkg-message 
and follow the instructions in it.  You'll have to enable bind in rc.conf. 
Make sure you *read* the instructions.
