Base and port versions can be on the same box, but I suspect you need to 
turn off the default chroot in rc.conf if you're going to run 8.4. Check 
the named variables in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

Try
apache2_enable="YES"

Again, grep /etc/defaults/rc.conf for the named items and adjust 
according to the version you plan to run. The above would probably work 
for 8.4 if you add:

named_chrootdir=""	#Chroot directory (or "" not to auto-chroot it)

The Handbook also has a new section on BIND 9 and 5.3.

Hope that helps.
