Actually, that's not foolish.  The bind822-P5 port is installed in
/usr/local because bind is part of "make world".

You want to tell your system to not use the default BIND, but your custom
one instead.  That's why you use /etc/rc.conf to tell your system which
BIND to use.

Of course, if you don't make world, it's not a problem.
