There's really nothing to it. BIND8, as part of the base system, lives in /usr/sbin. BIND9, installed from the ports, lives in /usr/local/sbin. You just need to make sure you explicitly tell rc to use /usr/local/sbin/named (use the 'named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named"' directive in /etc/rc.conf) There are differences in the config for the two, but as you've never set up BIND8, this won't matter. At your next buildworld, you can put NO_BIND= true # do not build BIND in your /etc/make.conf so you don't get BIND8 again.
