Back up /etc/namedb, including ownership and permissions.
Install dns/bind99 after updating the OS.  REPLACE_BASE must be off.
Move /etc/namedb (actually /var/named/etc/namedb) to /usr/local/etc/namedb.
Edit /usr/local/etc/namedb/named.conf, changing /etc to /usr/local/etc.
Add namedb_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf.
# service named start
After testing, remove /var/named, the old chroot directory.
